Seasonal Dance--By Connie Marcum Wong--United States

Seasonal Dance

My garden window lets me know
That soon the autumn winds will blow.
Summer’s sweet dance will be replete
With wet days turning into sleet.

An abundant harvest. . . sublime,
With ripe fruits gathered just in time
Before light snow covers the ground
And hoar frost on the fence is found.

In shortening days, autumn’s breeze
Takes one’s breath in colorful trees.
Leaves, shivering, drift one by one
As they welcome the autumn sun.

Soon icy fingers cling to eaves
And the swirling dance of the leaves
Keeps time to earth’s harmonic song
As each season dances along.

  1. The lovely imagery makes your seasons come to life. Connie! Indeed a seasonal dance twirling on inspired words. While many people might grumble against one season or another, you manage to see beauty in all of them. ~ Warm regards // paul
