Ode to a season ...
Winter
Winter do your worst
Bring on your thunder and lightning
Give the world a fright.
Tear apart the sky,
Light it up at night.
Winter cover the light
Shower us with rain and hail.
Give people frostbite,
make our faces pale.
Winter give all that you’ve got
Bring a damp smell.
Bring all the mud you can,
I won’t tell.

Spring
Spring do your worst
Shower us with your rain and your cold hail.
Let your howling bitter breath destroy the trees and rip the umbrella out of my hand.
Your scorching glare burns my skin,dry out wet clothes and grow your trees.
Make your thunder announce Spring.
Bring out your lighting blade and cut the sky.

Ode to Summer
Summer do your worst
For it will make me rise up
Summer make us feel down
Use our gauntlet of air
Summer make us feel hot so we have to use our extra feathery bucket hats.
Make my bbq hotter and my Coke sweat till it bleeds.
Summer make us sizzle,
force us to use our sunblock
Summer make us feel tired and make us use our inhalers.
Burn hotter than a furnace.

Terrifying Autumn
Autumn, do your worst.
Make it rain with reds and golds
Clothe the earth with a blanket of fire.
Make the ground crunchy and soft with leaves that crumple slowly under prancing feet.
Autumn take my hat
And cover me with my deliciously warm coat.
Torment the trees and strip them of their magnificent hair,
Leave them stark and empty.
Autumn your fierce whining breath awakens the smoke curling from tall, shadowing chimneys,
As you’re slowly replaced by winter.
Let your storms throttle the windows and howl like a wild beast.
I’m not afraid.
