Autumn carries the torch, lights the trees on fire, enflames the ground and the sky, A world of red and orange kisses the summer goodbye The leaves burn away, trees are left bare, Winter calls for the rain, to freeze the trees in diamond shimmering, blows stars out of the sky, To keep the ground warm the sun warms the ground, The sky melts with warmer rain, The ground bursts with life, Spring decorates with flowers. Summer burns the ground, dries up all the rain. Leaves blue skys and white beaches in return Birds sing with happiness, The seasons start again. "Sticks and stones will break my bones, |

Wind, if you want to submit another picture, just let me know!  As for your poem, may you see decades more of seasons of every kind...we've been this whole last week remarking on what a beautiful fall we're having...so long and slow, a quiet riot of color.... |

 (smiles) Oh Liz, this is a gorgeous transition and vision of all the seaosons, I too love the summer most of all though every one has a special gift! (sigh) I love your new picture too and can't wait to see the other one, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Liz, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

A very nice poem with wonderful imagery, Wind. Here at the coast, about the only difference you see in the seasons is when the salt marsh grasses turn the color of a sunset. The trees keep their leaves and sometimes as early as December the azaleas begin blooming. Enjoyed much! Thanks!  Michael The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Liz, I don't know how I missed this when you first posted it. Anyway, I'm glad that I didn't miss it this time it got up here. I liked the way you went through the seasons in your poem. It was very good. "Love makes the world go around" |

Autumn carries the torch, lights the trees on fire, enflames the ground and the sky, A world of red and orange kisses the summer goodbye The leaves burn away, trees are left bare, Winter calls for the rain, to freeze the trees in diamond shimmering, blows stars out of the sky, To keep the ground warm ================================= this is a wonderful pen stroke portrait, lovely poetic mixing of imagery, analogy and personification to paint this scene for us. that first verse is so cool ..so vivid and colorful. very well done Poetess Wind. I too am glad I didnt miss this, my time here is so limited of late, I am having trouble keeping up with all the newer poets, but I always try to read you, even if theres no time to reply, but wanted to let you know you are very talented and write well beyond your years. just one line ... one rhyme ... one metered verse ... |

Wind, this is so pure, so fresh... I am saving this shimmering gem! It is truly a diamond! To be able to write like this at your tender age, the sky's the limit for you!---No, I take that back, there is NO limit for a talent such as yours! EA |
