Unconvinced of spring

I am unconvinced of spring
for winter still is here
despite the dates
there’s fire in grates 
and a chill wind cold and clear

no green shoots have emerged 
in fact the ground is bare
not moist and soft,but hard and dry
grass brown from frost and rare 

the birds are still very quiet
the animals briefly appear
the skies are heavy and silent
rain and sleet is always near

clothes are layered and warm
boots are waterproof and thick
beanies and hats are permanent
raincoats and parkas are slick

and in amongst this extension
of winter into spring
I just want to mention
this weather makes me sing

Apologies dVerse - I linked the wrong poem. Try the next one.

Mere

This is the spot I like to sit
and watch the bees at work 
this mere is the spot I take my rest
reflect on the mysteries of life’s cirque
to see the flowers pollinated 
to see the caterpillar form and eat
to watch the chrysalis deliver
the pretty butterfly to floral seat
to watch the autumn turn green cloaking
to dusky yellow, reds and browns
before stripping bare and thus exposing 
woody boughs for next years round
and in spring I observe the flourishing
of vivid sprouts and blooms from sleep 
when they give energy nourishing
to new growth it fills me, replete
in knowing summer will again warm me
in this spot at nature's feet

Colours of the seasons

My colour was autumn 
in a fading colour kind of way
as I scrambled for more time
as time slipped away

then my colour was winter
cold bleak and grey
the shortening of daylight
gave more night than day

when my colour was spring
and more light filled the air
I felt for a green time
my happiness was there

but my colour became summer
coming in bright yellow hues
til the landscapes went dry
sun extracted summer dues

now my colour is a rainbow
arching over seasons
casting no shadow
coloured joy without reason

Come and see me with autumn’s fall

We’ll share the light and colour

I‘ll always answer your call

Come and see me in winter time

When the wind blows cold

Makes our warmth sublime

Come and see me in joyful spring

When the world renews

Our time for loving

Come and see me in summer heat

When we can seek cool places

Where and whenever we meet

Or come and see me forever one day

And we’ll stay together

Forever always
