Reasons for Seasons
The trees my picture window frames
Are playing their chameleon games
For little greens are popping out
As twiggy maps they're mopping out.
Somehow I hate to see them go
The oaks and maples hugged by snow
Or crystallized by winter's frost--
Those priceless gems are being lost.
But, no, they choose to make way clear
For summer's jade to reappear.
New sparkling jewels enhance my lawn
And heighten brightened sunny dawn.
Then as the sun leaves shorter days
That bid trees change their living ways
Grand golds and browns subdue the greens
For variegated autumn queens.
That's art my picture windows frame
And Nature is the artist's name.
