On the Seasons: Struggle

In that most traditional and beloved style for the contemplation of
scenes of the natural world and its manifold ways.


Spring

Early Humming bird
Dips beak into tepid pond
Prays for the Nectar


Summer

Passion-driven seas
Swell the ranks of squalling clouds
to Storm the parched plains


Autumn

Children wrestle leaves
Farmer hastens late-year work
Stern faced to shortage


Winter

Earthly strife at rest,
Constant is the chilling wind
for Comfort or woe.
