The Seasons in Terza Rima Verses
The changing of the seasons has always been inspirational to poets, painters and photographers, alike. Each one has its own distinct look and feel. The Following are poems written in the lyrical poem format of Terza Rima. These poems can stand on their own; however, they are interlinked with the seasons.
Without further ado they are:

Autumn I See
I see the leaves changing
In the glory of the light.
I hear the wind singing.
I see the mountain top so white
in the days growing short.
I hear the birds flocking out of sight.
I see autumn’s in court
In its entire splendor and…
I hear nature’s report.

Old Man Winter
A chill in the air,
and you know old man Winter
is decorating with care.
Soon, the snow will fall in a blur,
dusting trees white,
covering the ground for sure.
Some don’t think it’s right
for Winter to bring the frost and ice
and freeze Autumn’s delight.
But winter doesn’t slice,
slash, and burn; he just sets the stage
for Spring’s return to make things nice.

Lady Spring
Lady Spring gives birth again,
to awaken the hopes
and dreams of men.
Her flowers grace the slope.
Her fruits grace the trees,
ripening the days of hope.
Lady Spring holds the keys
that opens an eye
to look deep, like the seven seas
at a world on the edge of the funeral pyre,
and find a way
to spare it before it may die.

Summer Vacation
That final bell sings
and the children leave
as if strapped with wings.
It seems hard to believe
it's another thrilling end
before a season’s eve.
Summer’s around the bend,
the children cheer
and the teachers’ sanity mend.
Nobody will shed a tear,
for summer is the remedy
for a very long, school year.
