Title poem for my poetry book, Almanac: The Four Seasons

Almanac

I

Winter,
unlit, frigid,
snowing, freezing, thawing.
A great hibernating grizzly
- cocoon.

II

Springtime,
wormy, musky,
raining, sprouting, greening.
A peacocks feathered fan unfurled
- rainbow.

III

Summer,
sultry, sulky,
sweating, stewing, steaming.
A panting mutt sprawled in the shade
- sauna.

IV

Autumn,
amber, scarlet,
flaming, fading, falling,
theatrical chameleon
- changeling.
