Seasonal shorts for a Sunday Afternoon

First snowfall today
Still captured by graceful fall
Best season of all

Children of the earth
Grow strong in the summer sun
Tiny little spuds

Flinging seeds of spring
Chickadees at the feeder
Curious battle

The breath of life springs
Forced from earth's cold damp clay
Pygmalion dreams

Canadian geese
heading south for warmer sky
winged cacophony

Thanks, Enchantress! And we really did get our first snowfall this afternoon, and no, I am still not ready. Same story each year.

~My heart giggled a bit with the thought of the first snowfall. Soon on it's way. Enjoying this, thank you. - Fond of your, 'curious battle' and all such clever wordings throughout. *Peace.

There is a time for all seasons, for human as well as time..the first thoughts of winter can be interesting at first, then grow tiresome as it drags on..very gentle smile, nice write

Midnitesun,

This is the first of your work that I've read, but it certainly won't be the last. Very well done and I enjoyed it much.

Well I sure loved all of that! All the images were so vivid, and I love winter, so this is now in my libary (under Winter) hah! Lovely, really loved these.

Balladeer: Yes, it does seem strange, since by March I am the first to say ENOUGH!  give me some heat! But the beauty of snow covered birch trees, frosted Denali (Mt McKinley to most) and the frozen ground hard as concrete, somehow warm the heart.

Kit: Glad you enjoyed the changing seasons. It doesn't do any good to complain about change, anyway. May as well enjoy.

Spitfire: I am so happy that something I wrote made you giggle. Snowy peace thoughts  are hereby sent to you.

Logan: Yes, and I get tired of it by early March. But growing up in So Cal, I really only knew 2 seasons most years.

Auguste: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my seasonal sketches. I haven't painted anything on a canvas in years, and "painting" with words is so much fun, the brushes may sit still a while longer.

Mysteria: Glad you liked these...but wow, in your library? You are making me smile.
