Your poems bring back to me my previous life where I saw four seasons.

I will always miss my home there and I am now unable to return.

So, your poems bring  to me the images of my childhood. That's how graphic they are.

Thank you for posting and putting into words that which I am only able to visualize.

First day of spring my dad always recited his favorite poem:

Spring is  sprung,

The grass has riz,

I wonder where,

The birdies is.

No, he didn't write it. It's a real poem.

@Flatbush   I'm happy that my poems evoke pleasant memories of your childhood home.

 As a lifelong resident of New England, I enjoy the changing seasons and look forward to the beauty in each one. Nature has been my inspiration in writing and in painting.

 Since I was very young, I have been fascinated by the beauty in a snowflake and the excitement of that first winter snow each year. I have a book of Wilson Bentley's snowflake photography, it is amazing. Christmas and Valentine's Day are the highlights of the winter. Sledding and ice skating have always been children's favorite winter activities. No school, snow days were special too.

 Being a May baby, spring has always been my favorite season.

I love seeing everything turning green again,  all the colors of the gorgeous spring flowers and hearing the birds singing.

Easter and rebirth, baby chicks and bunnies, dressing my five children in new outfits for church on Easter Sunday, making Easter baskets for them made spring a special time.

 Living near the ocean, summer meant vacation, beach days,

hearing the sounds of the surf, the sounds of the children playing in the water and running and playing in the sand, making sand castles and finding shells,relaxing in the sun, tanning and that delicious scent of Bain de Soleil and summer beach music.

Picking berries, making pies, having picnics and barbecues, taking the children for ice cream and shopping for their school clothes were our summer activities.

Autumn leaves being painted by nature's paintbrush, bring so many visitors to our area each year. The colors are gorgeous and it is rather sad to see the leaves dry up and fall to the ground. But Halloween has always been fun with the costumes and all the treats. It has always been my children's favorite holiday. I made it fun for them.

Living next to Salem (witch city) Halloween is really big around here. So many people come here during the Halloween season. People now decorate almost as much as they do for Christmas and people flock to Salem for all the festivities and events. We don't go there this time of year, it's too crowded.

Thanksgiving has always been a favorite holiday in the autumn.

Where did you live, where you had four seasons?

@Enufstuff  Wow, my forum friend! Thank you so very much for sharing your poems! You are truly such a gifted, intelligent, artistic and insightful lady! It was such a treasure and honor to read these- you paint pictures with your words and captured the mystery and beauty of the transitions and little and big changes from winter to spring and dusk to dawn .I loved the imagery of the icicles melting and how you described them as "icy fingers".  The fact that the "beauty of spring must hide until all traces of winter subside"- wow, that is beautiful, Enufstuff!   So many great lines and Dawn is so perfectly put- " Light starts to fill in the empty space.  The blue sky is trimmed with hot pink lace."  I just love that . Please continue to write poems whenever you feel inspired- you have a gift, and its a delight to read your work.  Thank you!
