"Colours of the Season" 

 

Slate grey skies, searing winds, trees torn asunder

Scudding clouds, lightning's flash, menace roll of thunder

Sleet, snow, slush and hail, puddles, mud and rain

People hurrying, head-bent, scurrying, storm and hurricane

 

Turquoise skies, fluffy clouds, breezes softly blowing

Filigrees of bare trees, weaving, dancing, willowing

Morning sun pale and trembling, shafting over daisied meadows

Ever shifting light and shade, till evening's purple shadows

 

Azure skies, domed on high, haze of heat aquiver;

Country gardens lush with blossoms, cool meandering river

Perfumed breeze, drowsy bees, sunlight all aglimmer

Welcome fall of evening's dusk, moonlight's silver shimmer

 

Golden skies, earth aglow, abundant, overflowing

Orchard boughs hanging low, dappled apples bowing

Poppies waving midst the ripples of the golden corn

Hedgerows thick with nuts and bramble, mist at early dawn

 

Red streaked skies, falling leaves, sparkling, frosty mornings

Birds migrating, squirrels hoarding, heeding Winters warning

Tang of Autumn, bonfires burning, crisp carpet's red and gold

Summer's over, dark clouds threaten, as the year grows old.
