Seasonal Arrivals
The best of each new season
Is the time that it commences
While each has its own specialties
Appealing to the senses.
Winter enters, robed in white
With sparkling gems of snow,
To blanket fall’s denuded trees
And all the land below.
Spring arrives in garb of green
With fragrance of fresh flowers,
Announced by chirps of singing birds,
Pit-pattering of showers.
Steals summer in on scented breeze
When sunny days abound
For ice-cream cones and picnics
With family around.
Fall moves in with tinge of frost
To set the trees ablaze.
It’s time to sit by glowing fires
And dream of holidays.
The best of each new season
Is the time that it commences,
While each has its own specialties
Appealing to the senses.
