Four seasons Silver sky, clouds floating by

Trees bare, branches reaching high

Foliage fallen, withered and died

Landscape barren in such a short time.

Snowflakes falling, gentle and white,

Everything covered, a beautiful sight,

Stars shining in the midnight blue sky

Moonlight, lamplight, a Christmas card night.

Children sledging, shouting laughing,

Enjoy the wonder that nature has brought

Icy roads, broken bones, not everyone's joy

Elderly people, cold weary would love to be warm.

Snowdrops, crocus, daffodils, tulips,

Colours to cheer up the dullest of days

Rainbows following the rain and the sun

Blue skies and bird song the spring has begun.

Warm sun, cloudless skies

Lazy days, long summer nights

Honey bees gathering nectar

Butterflies dancing by.

Dragonflies in all their splendour

Fledglings leave the next, another wonder

Gardens arranged with beautiful flowers

The air is filled with the scent of summer. By Mrs M Pilkington,

Fairfields, Egerton
