Buds bloom, the birds sing,
Sunny days, warm nights herald—
the coming of Spring. 

Dry and dusty heat,
Sweltering minds, tempers rise—
Summer oft is not a treat.

Red and gold leaves swirl, 
Time for bountiful harvests—
Mellow is autumn.

Icy winds, downy flake
Nature dons a coat of white—
Rests as Winter passes.
