Seasons Reasoned

cool of spring’s morn is waning the eclipse
new greenery has come and then gone by
summer is passing in butterfly flips
high bluing by sun has so hued the sky
coming is the call that august we lean
harvesting all mature fruits and berries
golden tinctures shall thus ripen the scenes
before snow falls, we shall all make merry
mead’s brew shall swell from vast harvests stored
smoked meats or pickled, all shall feed so well
fishermen pull in nets then come to shore
winter’s harsh thus blown forth by yon church bell
     snow shall carpet, and thy footfall be hushed
     till spring comes again, then winter be crushed

I started to highlight some lines to quote, but then I found myself copying the whole thing, so I'll just say that I absolutely loved every single line!  This is fantastic!  Great write, Sunshine!

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...

you sate my craving for rhyme and top it off with whipcream and cherries of imagery.
a Sunshine sonnet for all seasons...
very cool poetess of the warm
