Seasonal Quintet

 

Under the shady canopy of trees

Whose leaves dance in the roaming wind

The pond is a silver mirror

Reflecting yellow, moon-colored leaves of fall

 

Lonely geese fly south in the pale yellow sky

Making an arrow with flowing wings

Cool air flies toward them from the north

Making goose bumps on chilly cheeked children

 

Icicles as though sculpted of diamonds

Sparkling in the shivering wind

A cup of tea by flaming sweet pine

Crackling like dead leaves of fall

Cherry blossoms in Spring

Their sweet scent drifting across valleys

An artist softly sketches them, in fragile, flowing lines

Capturing their soul in delicate, sunset-pink colors

 

Summer glowing warmth with juicy blackberries

Wading in cool, clear ice-colored creek water

Lazily watching a fern bending in the wind

Thirsty, watching dark storm clouds full of water
