SOUNDS OF THE SEASONS

       

Robins sing in newly budded trees

              while raindrops fall and

              
                    thunder rumbles in the distance

*****************

In the cool of the evening 

   crickets chirp amid

          the voices on the sidewalk

              and air conditioners hum.

**************

            Brisk cool winds whip the trees.

               leaves swirl and crunch under foot

                   while squawking geese fly south.

                    The noisy engine of the snow blower

                     blend with the scraping of the snow plow,

                           and the purr of the furnace.


We live in the four seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
