Seasons

sorenbarrett

A fluffy puff, a feather's fall, the golden leaf of autumn's call
Release spring's rainbow colored haze, grasped in summer's warmer days
White frost on nature's hardened face, greeting winter in cold embrace 
Dark shadow's plumes upon the ground, in naked branches no leaf is found 

 

Sheltered on the earth below, loose remnants under fallen snow
Twigs, moss, and bits of string, to build an egg roost in the spring
Gold leaf and feather build the nest, cushion eggs beneath mother's breast 
Once shelter in days of yore, now a perch from which new life will soar

        Thanks Neville for the read and the bit of seasoning. (pun intended) I on this end of the planet am awaiting spring.

        The poet beautifully portrays the four seasons—autumn, spring, summer, and winter—highlighting the transformations in nature and the vibrant activities that unfold within each season, especially the revitalizing preparation for new life in spring, particularly with the life cycle of birds. The poem inspires us to reflect on the interconnectedness of all living things and the nurturing role that nature plays in the life cycle.

              Thanks Orchi your notice of this. It means you're sharp enough to catch details but being old as we are we always remember those days of yore. You always make me smile.
