Cycle of Seasons

vernal equinox
pollen proliferation
spring rebirth affirmed


busy bees buzzing
beautiful birds building nests
winter gloom erased


dormant seeds take root
blossoms bloom birdsong elates
spring nearing its end


summer solstice comes
verdant landscape sandy beach
families frolic


short summer showers
heat and humidity reign
sunlight lingers on


temperatures lag
cheerful chirping of crickets
last gasp of summer


autumn equinox
turning leaves migrating birds
early morning chill


leaf peeping pastime
harvest cornucopia
Real time falls behind


fall's first killing frost
season of melancholy
cold of winter near


winter solstice comes
bare trees long hibernation
don't risk bleeding lips


gardens lie fallow
field mice attempting entry
long dark frigid nights


snowfall slowly melts
winter giving way to spring
first mosquito bite
