THE SEASONS
SPRING
Scales fall as leaf blades break
and whirling sepals effloresce
with misting sprays in harmony
reflecting seasons early cast.
SUMMER
Dressed in hues of deepest green
the fields and hedges, trees and moors
with still no mottled leaf as yet
to fade from colours die.
AUTUMN
Wilting growth in brawling tides
of mewing winds that tread the hills
with rustling ebbs of autumn hues
beneath a shredding canopy.
WINTER
As stones that lie in frozen pools
when days grow short and ice accrues
and all that lies within is bathed
beneath a blankets cold caress.
