The Seasons

by dollwithafrown   Jul 20, 2007


Flower buds begin to bloom into different shapes
As the earth is flooded with a shower of colours.
Frequent rain sparkles the ground like diamonds.
A beautiful setting of nature lies before us,
Letting us know that springtime has arrived.

As the chilly air of spring leaves us, summer arises,
With it, comes the burning hot sunshine,
Inviting us to explore the outdoors and invest in some ice-cream.
Crowds of people roam the beaches, gasping for cool water:
A break from the fiery sunshine emitting constant heat.

The seasons change and soon autumn is upon us;
A crisp breeze echoes among us all, cold and chilling.
Orange leaves cling onto tree-tops, desperately trying not to fall.
Gusts of wind disrupt the long, peaceful grass, branches are swept around,
And as autumn deserts us, it leaves behind a land of fallen leaves.

Before we know it, winter has overcome us;
Bitter white snow chills us right down to every bone in our body.
The nights are longer, darker, with a deadly silence shadowing them.
Every person stays indoors, soaking up the heat from their fires,
Dying to escape the frozen bleakness of which winter provides.

    I don't really like free-verse but it was okay. It sounded more like a children's book than a poem. Like one that's 20 pages long and has two sentences on it. It was cute but not deep and I'm sure which of the two you were aiming for. But it was okay. Not your best, but I did enjoy reading it :)

    Well, I sure hope you got an A for this! It deserves one. I love nature poems but this took it beyond the usual nature poems I read from this site, it had perfect imagery and I was captivated from the first line until the last. I love your poetry. It gets better the more I read them and I must say you have really improved since I was reading them before. :]

    Wonderful. How you've composed this nature poem fabulously well was of interest to note. I certainly did come across various works pertaining to the changing seasons, whereas this particular work carried out its purpose well. There was indeed a minor issue with an uneven flow on certain parts, but elaborate mental images were fine and well versed on the whole. Truly pleasant to read... Wonderful.

    Wow. I really really liked this.
    The flow seemed a bit off here and there, but it was a really good poem.
    I'm not quite sure where the flow as off. :/ I wish I could pin point it, I guess it was just a bit of everywhere. If that makes sense?
    LIke, some poems just dont' flow well. And, some do in certain spots. Yours is like that; certain spots.
    But, other than that it's absolutely amazing
    I really really like it, dear.
    Keep it up. :]
