Seasons an exercise in rhyme

Winter drought
so fruitless, frigid fraught,
imbues
dark hours, vigor's vanished.
Spring sorts out
what's rooted and who rots
and too
the flowering and the famished.
Summer shouts,
tis undiputed hot,
subdued,
overpowerimg, shade we're banished.
Autumn touts,
leaves parachuted dots,
which strew
when showered, silent, clammish.

AND and exercise in imagery...
very cool vocab and turn of phrase...
clever rhyme scheme
Well done Richard...once again

I know no one is to blame
In time youll feel strength when you call my name
I know Ill never hold you again
And I know Ill never be the same

I had trouble with this one? Guess I will wait until Monday! (my tongue got in a knot and it took me an hour to untie it!) lol

Hey, I said it was an exercise.

LOL! I like this best :"Spring sorts out
what's rooted and who rots" As spring always rescues me from rotting! I wilt in winter whiteness, withering, woefully. If you say this real fast the Woefully turns into Woefuwwy. It's a very good write RS.

Sincerely,
Regina
