Seasonal Scenes

Spilling colors everywhere, covering Earth with poise at the end of the Fall, golden leaves falling slowly and softly leafless plants and trees welcome snowfalls. Full many a wintery December have I seen filled the deep woods with white thick snow silvery are the freezing lakes around the place fascinating is the scene of ducks and butterballs crossing the ice-rimmed shores. Keeping  Mother Nature in immense sadness, like a frozen paradise brooks, apple trees, birds and all stand still - planting trace of fear in our life, days pass by. Bidding adieu to ice-covered days, March soon springs with wide smile turning grey plants into green - thus it reminds Shelley’s great thought: “Spring follows winter forever.”

  Great job. This is neat. You use lovely imagery and vocabulary. One of my favorite parts was:
  
  planting trace of fear in our life, days pass by.
  Bidding adieu to ice-covered days,
  
  I don't know why, I just love that part. Keep it up,

  hey kiddy

  I love the fall, and you portrayed it very well here, as well as how it changes the surface of the earth and the creatures that call that their habitat/home. I'm not sure about some parts of the poem, like the "placing trace of fear in our life" and also the way that you started the poem didn't really sound all that well to me, it just sounds incorrect grammatically. But I most definitely could be wrong b/c I am no expert in this area at all. But it just sounds different to me, so maybe I just don't understand it, which I can understand and accept LoL. I hope that makes sense to you. But don't let these things I just said make you think that I do not like the poem. Though I am not a big fan of the spring, the mud and the rain, gloomy weather all together, I like the way you described it in here, b/c that's the exact way I try to face spring, I just think of it as the end of the cold and icy wonderland that seems other-worldly (at least here in WI sometimes) and as the gateway to a nice and warm Summertime with lots of greens and budding flowers, life coming back out of it's shell, or hibernation if you will. I liked the ending as well, the "grey to green" reference worked well with me for the ending. I liked it, but to me not one of your best. Which is definitely a compliment to your consistent work of such high quality. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

  Your lines shows you to be the most intricate reader I know than a writer..Thats an unique perception of Mother Nature in immense sadness..Brilliant observation..Nice corelation of Shelley's thought towards the end..Its the minds eye that plays the trick, aint it??You made me feel nostalgic Kiddy..Reminds me of John Milton's quote in Paradise Lost " The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven"..Missing our pampering Professor CRS...

  Lovely

  My favorite season is definately fall. I love the colors it brings and I am a sucker for cold weather. I love your transitions here and again your form almost as if your drawing something with the words format. Keep up the great work!

  Nicely done.

  You have chosen great words to show the imagery you wanted the reader to see. It is easy for me to picture this scene. I personally prefer Summer so I would share the sadness of Mother Nature during the winter. I like the fact that this is centered. I think that it is a better visual when the lines are uneven like these. Very enjoyable poem.

  Beautiful! I like the first two lines... spilling colors everywhere, covering earth with poise.... like the earth is a canvas, and every season is a new work of art. You've certainly portrayed this in word pictures!
