You're a myriad of mood,
almost bipolar,
sobbing with april rain,
knocking against eachother
as march ravages through,

light and carefree
your fingers of green
strum the summer breeze,
and shelter all that rests
upon your arms,

and shoo with
the currents of bay
bouquets of mixed paisley
leaving in september's song,

and o how you celebrate the snow !!
then shiver long after, in its frost;

my dear
you are full of ambition and hindsight,

wise as a mother hen,
young with love, nursing
your newborn spring,

part martyr, part dramaqueen,

you are a pardox to a fault,

you mimic me,
at these crossroads
between, where i am,
for the moment,
now caught.

LOL, it seems I am forever surrounded by bipolars. So many in my family, and a few friends. *sigh*
I relate to much in this write. Thanks for sharing it.

youve used very beautiful imagery...
this reads like a painting
that makes you cry every time you lay eyes on it.

Whether a season or a personality...can each
be explained within this poem.

You know, the seasons do represent us in so many ways, I mean each of us are bipolar in our own way . . . many of us can tack ourselves to one season . . . but I find if you look closely, we are all that encompasses Mother Nature herself.  

Who ever said bipolar was a bad thing?
*grin*

This is beautiful writing, which I have missed . . .

Mmm, yes, the shifting of moods, like that of the seasons.  I like this analogy.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

we all have mood swings, different characters named happiness, surprise, anger, hurt, fear...

well done, enjoyed.

Excellent expression of a disorder that plagues many. (funny, when I clicked on to reply a pop up ad for this disorder came across my screen)
