Transition

Accidental Poet



 

The Northern Hemisphere

Tilting towards Spring

The Southern Hemisphere to Fall

Aah, but I long to hear the birds sing

 

As I leave behind the windchill

And the long cold dead of Winter

I shiver for fires end

Firewood of blackened cinder

 

Winter snowfall melting

From mountain top peaks

Waterfalls and streams below

A trickling music speaks

 

Let the thermometer rise

The hardened ground thaw

For the green grass to grow

The music of rain not so raw

 

Let the morning Sun

Warm the day with ease

And as the Sun sets

The Full Moon will tease

 

Let fields grow with colorful flowers

Skies echo of birdsong

The sound of children playing

All the sunny day long

 

The exchange of seasons

Happens four times a year

But from Winter to Spring

You’ll see this poet grin from ear to ear

      It could be Orchi, if you tie a flashlight to a pole shining down on you and carry it around everywhere you go. 🌞😁

          Such beautiful imagery dear A.P can you believe that in Italy we have some how bypassed winter completely this year, never before have I seen it here. 🌹 Your last lines I felt so much because the changing of each season is a true nature's wonder.

          • Accidental Poet

            Yes Teddy, the weather is acting unusual of late. I do prefer warmer temps, but at what cost I have to wonder. Thank you for your compliments as always. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

            Here in New England we are getting ready for Spring! A beautiful reminder of what’s to come and where we have been!

              aah, another New Englander. How wonderful. I can't wait for Spring to arrive. The transition from Winter to Spring is so gratifying. I love how the frozen ground thaws out to become soft and green with the temperature above 50 degrees. Thanks for reading GenXer. 🌹

              Amazing the synchrony in that we both wrote about change today. A wonderful write of transition. Beautiful images and a flowing meter.

              • Accidental Poet

                Yes soren, we both can feel the oncoming of Spring. Not being a big fan of the Winter, I welcome the warmer weather where I can get outside more often. And, being outside, more things to write about. Thanks for stopping by with your comment/compliments. πŸŒžπŸ‘

                Wonderful words AP, my favourite time is when Summer turns into Autumn.

                Andy
