SEASONS CHANGE, A POEM

I wrote this recently while sitting on the front porch of the farm.  I'm no Whitman or Frost by any means, but I'm hoping that over time, the farm will inspire me, maybe even be my "muse" for honing my writing skills...


Seasons Change © 2015

"Flowers grasp the sunlight as their color starts to fade, an end of season chance to hold off the coming shade...

Petals start to wither and leaves begin to fall, while temps drop ever lower as Winter comes to call...

Warmth of Summer heat and cool of Autumn weather, fade away to memory, drifting like a feather...

As our dreams and plans awaken and slowly start to sing, we once again look forward to the long awaited Spring..."

                                                                                     - 1st Man     


Good or bad, I just thought I'd share...

    Very good!

    Is that a Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow bush? It looks very much like one I have. Very pretty when it changes colours.

      I'm not sure what it is, it's growing wild, not anything O planted on purpose. I will have to google that though, sounds fascinating!! Thank you by the way!!
