Seasons pass

sorenbarrett

Cottony billows of pillows, cloud's linen case ripped, feathers fall

Goose down snow, drops on a white blanket below, winter in a lace shawl

Seasonal ice negligee, melts away, revealing naked earth

Grounds belly swells, above her loin's dells, bursting spring's birth

Summer reposes, sleepily dozes in lazy steamy dreams

In a gown of roses her beauty exposes, stitched with flowering silver streams

Fireworks of colored spark, flaming leaves shower in autumn's dark, night falls

Life's dress gently embossed with a shroud of crystal frost, lips of a cold wind calls

                Soren,
                Loved the way you started and finished in the same season. The circle of life! What beautiful snapshots of Mother Nature told from a lover’s point of view. Loved the font that flowered and flowed like the Négligée. Thanks for sharing. I feel like I have new memories.

                  A most excellent and beautiful write on the passing of the seasons. Indeed, it may be April, but I woke up with some snow today. It'll be gone by the end of the day...but quite apropos for the reading of this poem. Wonderful job, my friend. 🌹👏

                          Hard to read with the font, maybe I’ll have an easier time with another.
