July has already passed in time Days flow like a stormy wind The sky is showing a different light And the land is changing colors Very slow the brown shines through Autumn is awaiting it's turn The leaves, they fall, each in their turn They'll disappear in time Changed into skeletons one gazes through Swept in the air by a playful wind Yellow-brown pattern in colors Spreading in late sunset's light Then one morning on dawn's light the season again takes a turn The palett holds grey-brown-white colors You've guessed it right, it's Winter time Cold it is, with hail and storming wind And mists, that won't let you through Trees are bold, one can see through And days are short of light Cheeks color red by the icy wind Blowing in your face, when on corners you turn The white frozen branches will melt in time And only the sky is showing warm colors But slowly there will be again change of colors And you'll see green leaves come through It just is a matter of nature's time When she makes the days lengthen in light Then it will be Spring's turn To smoothen down the stormy wind It blows the land clean, this fickle wind And nature shows fresh new colors It lasts as long till Summer takes her turn With Winter cold we're through The sun shines warm in a bright light A year has passed in a four seasoned time Let that stormy wind pass through Enjoy the colors in that different light Each season will take it's turn, in time Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

I have to agree - Your theme is perfect for a sestina - and you follow the rhyme scheme well - Geesh - I need to try writing in a second language sometime... Looking forward to September, m'friend..  |

Titia, I don't know what a sestina is, but this looks mighty good to me. |
