We meet again
but the trees now echo
the Fall's grand attire

what was Summertime's rouse
crumbles quickly with the playing
of taps, i.e , on once,
the up and coming lawns

and I digress
to our medley of pinks, periwinkles
and tones of high fashion, with
August's bounty more than tripling
the Springtime promise, (which had
already cracked the face off Winter's tomb)

yet there are spaces
between the slimming down branches
telling stories of April's early
nests, but now singsong flyers
abandon and must harken to southernly desires

these finds, now unveiled
due to the cadence of burgeoning winds
and revival of nature's seasonal patterns
bring me to wonder
if our frolic of May day euphoria
can sustain through sobriety
as the somber tones merge
with the late season's muse

The seasons, for better or for worse tend to give her the courage to spring forth, to lazily give unto the sun's rays and to fall against the brilliance of leaves falling, only to give way to winder's cold embrace.

I spent some time living on a subtropical island and while there very much missed the temperate zone seasons that I grew up with, and their recurring stimuli.

I enjoyed your season-sensitive poem.
Nicely done.
Thank you for sharing.

The nuances of time and the colourful clothes nature puts on and takes off through the year will never stop amazing the human mind, this displays the emotions it brings to us well..thank you for your words

How beautifully, you express Nature's effect on the human psyche, Emma Rose.

All I could think when I read this was, in the words of Eddard Stark, "Winter is coming!" A horrible reference it is, but the meaning behind the message is the same... despair creeping, longer and darker nights awaiting, and a coldness coming that numbs the mind and soul. You capture this uneasy feeling well.
