Pick A Season Poem by Frederick Nellist

A euphoric feeling warming hearts
Crocus and daffodils welcome Spring
Birds in hedgerows, lambs gambol
Buzzing bees reluctant to sting
Mischievous snowflakes had their day
Gentle showers now showing the way.

Iridescence awaits the proud Summer
Trees and meadows no longer weep
Dancing butterflies will paint skies
Wild life refreshed by their long sleep
Smiling faces caressed by sun light
Children at play scream with delight.

Autumn leaves in a free fall dance
Sienna's and shades of golden hues
Artists painting taking their place
No harm done, just the odd bruise
Forest giants now devoid of a crown
Mother nature wears a temporary frown.

Behold the colour cold comfort brings
Winter displays a long waited embrace
Landscapes adorned in beautiful white
Wild life hibernate no longer a trace
Children can't wait to invent snowmen
Winter gives us Christmas cards to pen.
