IN AUTUMN ~ When the days grow short
I walked with ANGEL through the Wood
Our steps were light ~ we deep in thought
And life for us ~ was always good
IN AUTUMN ~ When the days grow short !
IN WINTER ~ In the Frost and Snow
We cuddled long ~ by fireside
Into the Woods we could not go
Too dangerous with slip and slide
IN WINTER ~ In the Frost and Snow !
IN SPRING ~ The days are Bright ~ OK
Snowdrops and Bluebells coming out
The cold of WINTER blown away
The Birds & Bees fly round about
In SPRING ~ The days are Bright ~ OK !
IN SUMMER ~ When the days are long
We picked ripe Blackberries in the Wood
Our steps were light ~ Our Love was strong
We feasted on our hedgerow food
IN SUMMER ~ When the days were long !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN & ANGELA

Buongiorno Cari Amici
BRIAN e ANGELA,
le quattro stagioni dell’amore!!
A beautiful message of LOVE

deal from you! Thank you.

Thanks for your generous reply Laura ! Your Italian title sounds much better than mine ~ but it also sounds like a Perfect Pizza ! I like to explain the structure of the Poem in terms of metre and rhyme pattern ~ OK ! Seasonal Hugs ~ BRIAN XOX
The pizza never crossed
my mind...but you’re right!
It would make sense.
It is lunchtime there.
It’s breakfast time here!
Do you make your own?

A fine un-swoony write there Brian!
Erm, a technical point. Can you help? Is 'OK' one or two syllables, if I use it? Is it 'O' and 'Kay', or 'Ock'? I wish I would stop talking rubbish! lol.
HI STEVE ~ OK is always TWO SYLLABLES and NHS is three ~ in abbreviations I was taught that each letter is a SYLLABLE USA three etc ! Thanks for your comment ~ I thought you had swooned enough recently ! Yours BRIAN W (double U) is of course ONE LETTER but three syllables so WVS (Woman's Voluntary Service) would be FIVE SYLLABLES etc !
Your love for Angela shines through on these. Great job! Sisterly hugs-Christina
Thanks CHRISTINE ~ we should always pay tribute to those we love in our Poems ~ as you know ! Thanks for your kind comments ~ Brotherly Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@
Nice writing, Brian. I do like how you describe love in terms of seasons.
Well FRED I am "A Man for All Seasons" and a Man (and a Woman) needs "Love for all Seasons" ~ Thanks for your comment ~ BRIAN !
four seasons of love,one just as strong as the other
Thanks RON ~ it is always good to share OUR LOVE with others on MPS ~ Yours BRIAN
