A dance of seasons

Welcome to The Spot Writers. The current prompt: write a poem or story in which one of the characters is a weather, personified. 

This week’s contribution comes from Chiara De Giorgi. Chiara is currently in Berlin, Germany, doing her best to catch up with semi-abandoned writing projects. Her YA novel “Mi chiamo Elisa” was published in Italy by “Le Mezzelane Casa Editrice” in September 2020. Coming soon, a children’s book about Quantum Theory: “Chiara e il gatto di Schrödinger”.

A dance of seasons

by Chiara De Giorgi

I bring the frost, the wind, the cold, the snow,

Transparent icicles hanging from the roofs,

I paint the stillness over Night’s moonglow,

My white snowflakes speak unspoken truths.

Winter is my name and here’s my call:

I am the loveliest season of us all.

 ❄️️❄️️❄️️❄️️

The sun gets warmer when I come along,

I paint fresh flowers on the naked grass,

The birds start singing happily their song,

A glorious tune that nothing can surpass.

Spring is my name and here’s my call:

I am the loveliest season of us all.

🌼🌼🌼🌼

I offer you the longest of your days,

Sunlight and warmth like no one else,

And fruits that ripen under my own sun’s rays,

The sweetest honey little bees may bless.

Summer is my name and here’s my call:

I am the loveliest season of us all.

I give the leaves a thousand graceful hues,

Rust brown and red and yellow green,

I paint with vivid colours all your views,

A chilly rain falls over all that’s been.

Autumn is my name and here’s my call:

I am the loveliest season of us all.

 🍁🍁🍁🍁

No one can win this seasons’ dance,

Because there is no winner amongst us.

The cold, the warmth, the sun, and all the stars

are what gives life her countless charms.

So, winter, spring, and summer and the fall

We are four lovely seasons, and that’s all.

 ❄️️ 🌼 🐝 🍁
