Two poems of the seasons by Therese Taylor and one by Sally Wylie

Lonely Day

A fresh layer of February snow

A gaggle of geese laughing just so

Naked, slippery, sleepy trees

Whispering in the breeze

Lousy violins moaning a tune

Noting spring will be here soon

A lonely walk I had today

Communing with Mother

Nature along the way

Song of Seasons

Mother Nature dances in me

Sets my mind and spirit free

Knowing colourful leaves change

Knowing life’s plans rearrange

Vibrant leaves sing brilliant songs

Autumn’s sung fall before long

Vibrant leaves dead and gone

Mother Nature’s swan song

Acceptance of time passing

Winter’s silent song everlasting

Blasting snows, whipping winds

Karma’s assent of our sins?

Knowing spring will come someday

Though it seems so far away

Sets my mind and spirit free

Mother Nature dances in me

Ice rain on the roads

Salt corrodes

Eats my plans.
