SIGHTS OF THE SEASONS ~ ANGELA ~ QUATRO QUARANTAS

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

VIVALDIS AUTUMN ~ COS ITS AUTUMN IN NEW ZEALAND !

 

AUTUMN

FRESH AUTUMN rain on the Mountains

As the mauve Evening approaches

Fish jumping in the clear stream

The bright MOON shines through the Forest

Heralding noises of the NIGHT !

 

WINTER

SWIRLING WINTER SNOW fills the Sky 

North wind whistles down the Valley

Ruffling the ears of the snow plumed grass

Ive closed shutters on all windows 

Inside pretend its still AUTUMN !

 

SPRING

DAFFODILS dance to welcome SPRING 

Branches sway replete with Blossom

Butterflies give meadows colour

Hedgehogs wake from hibernation

Lambs frolic : Birds sing : Sprung has SPRING !

 

SUMMER

DUSK SUNLIGHT filters through Forest

Increasing growth of ground cover

The SUN sets as the MOON rises

Owls & nocturnal creatures stir

Sultry Night fills with SUMMER SOUNDS !

 

Thanks for visiting : comments please : Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡

 

This is a tone Poem so in each verse / stanza I have tried

to paint a picture of each Season !  It is also a QUARENTA

40 lines in an 8 8 8 8 8 meter to give it Flow and Rhythm ! 

Each line is an iambic tetrameter = eight syllables !

    You have painted well each wonderful season dear Angela. Thank you for sharing their gifts.

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      HI FAY : Ive sent my reply as a comment please check !
      Thanks ANGELA 🧡🧡

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks FAY ! I have always scribbled jingles in English & Spanish since I was a Child ! Brain has taught me about Poetic Structure and the importance of Rhyme & Rhythm to give a Poem flow and recitability ! You poems are always perfect examples and reflect Wisdom & Experience both of which I am slowly aquiring. BRIAN has entrusted Me with the Site while he studying Coastal Erosion on the East Coast. He taught me that Tone Poems are a verbal Pictures and that one should feel the Sun & Sea & Wind & Rain and especially the SNOW : pleased I succeeded. The colours of AUTUMN will be in full view when Brian arrives @ Easter very very soon !
      Blessings & Love in the Spirit
      Yours as always ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

      Autumn is my personal favorite season. I like it because the air is cool, and it let's you know winter is coming.
      Persistence is key

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        YES DION : BRIAN & I like to visit Florida & Texas in the Autumn and the Aspens in Colorado have to be seen to be believed : FALL in the US is always a great Season and New England is always a great draw for BRITS for late holidays !
        Blessings & Peace

        A fine write B&A. How's Brian's erosion going - oops, sounds painful! lol.

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Thanks Uncle Steve : pleased you liked the presentation we both love Vivaldi : A Man for All Seasons !
          Brian is OK and the survey is showing much of the NORFOLK Coast is \"In Peril fromthe Sea : O hear us when we cry to Thee !\" He can\'t email while on the Field Trip so He entrusts the Site with me : which explains why you\'re getting Poem on AUTUMN and NOT SPRING and X-rays and NOT Gamma Rays ! They do checks from fixed markers to judge the extent and speed of the erosion ! I wish it was TRUMP TOWER falling into the SEA : to make Him wake up WET and to Global Warming. Increasing Urbanisation : Deforestation : Atmospheric CO2 makes it worse every day ! GLOBAL CO2 is now 411 ppm which is an 65% increase on the optimum 250 ppm ! When it passes 500 ppm (double) Brian tells me Norfolk will dissapear into the Sea and the BROADS with it ! Watch this Space and DON'T buy a Holiday Chalet on the Norfolk Coast !
          Blessings and a Full Bowl to YOU & FIDO

            Mia Cara Amica Angela,
            Una poesia molto carina!
            I’m fond of all the seasons! After all, ‘variety is the spice of life’!
            I enjoyed listening to the nine and a half minutes of Vivaldi’s music!
            Grazie Mille!

            Abbracci e Baci...
            ~Laura~🌻

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                Thanks MOORDY : When we paint a WORD PICTURE we call it a Tone Poem because the words add colour to the Poem and enable us to visualis it ! Pleased you enjoyed it : thanks for your comment. It highlights Autumn (March April May) because I am in NEW ZEALAND : OK
