This volume presents a collection of 36 short poems about the seasons. The poems are organized by the different periods of the year, beginning with spring, and each of them celebrates an aspect of spring, summer, fall, or winter.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Each moment of the year has its own beauty.” There are four seasons throughout the year and I believe that each one of them has something to offer us.

Changing of the Seasons Every season changes the look of the world differently. Some seasons make the environment bloom while other seasons put the environment to rest for a period of time. Seasons change from the blazing sun of summer, to the vivid colors of the fall, and then the freezing snow of winter. Many people vary in which season they relish the most, but I enjoy three of the four seasons Mother Nature has to offer. I savor the time during the summer, fall, and winter that I get to spend
According to author and keynote speaker Dennis Jones, “The lesson for all of us is that we too have seasons in our lives and each has its purpose… There are times of light and warmth... there are times of growth and expansion…” (2013). Based on his words, it is evident that each of the four seasons brings about both positive and negative changes that everyone must endure; whether or not these changes are openly welcomed by their recipients, they cannot be avoided. Instead of ignoring these new
