The wind is unforgiving As it blows outside my door Was summer really here? Can we please have some more? How quickly seasons change So amazing is this sight As the leaves fall like confetti With a blanket for the night The grass is getting greener As the rain begins to fall The rose petals lay littered With so many colors on the lawn The birds take shelter in the flowering gum They know that there is so much work to be done As they stock up on food As the Winter draws near I see them in my apple tree Upon the apples they do leer How we'll miss days at the beach How we'll miss Summer's long days But with the lovely Autumn mornings Not in bed will I laze Out in my garden you will find me So much work for me to do As I prepare the beds for Winter Whose mornings begin covered in dew In my Garden of Eden is where I will be Toiling away somewhere under a tree Digging holes, pulling weeds Then I'll be planting all my seeds From my palette I do paint The picture in my mind is so quaint A new masterpiece will be born As the first day of Spring Begins with a yawn Suetang |

Such a gently and lovingly written piece about the changes of season. I too sensed a message about the seasons that occur in our own lives. I had nearly forgotten that your seasons are tipped upside down from ours here in the NW. A gracious poem. "I am not now that which I have been." |

It's hard to think of winter when we are waiting impatiently for spring. I don't suppose your winter season is anything like ours? Really nice poem. Betty Lou Hebert |
