Well that was just BEAUTIFUL. You certainly deserved that win. How wonderful that God created all those seasons for us. The winter one is just wonderful, for the children. But as an elder I no longer appreciate the snow and ice. Too dangerous in my mind.

    Thank you, THANK YOU, Becky, for your wonderful review and those bright stars on this one, my lady -- one of those I 'wrote' in my head as I worked and just stopped long enough to type it in.... Painting door frames in prep for moving has a good side-effect, yeah?! LOL! ;) Take care out there and have a wonderful week - be sure to stop by again sometime...! ;) Yvette

    You sound like my nemisis, but it's hard thinking and painting and stopping to write down those thought while they are still there.

effective imagery for each season,
as well as rhyme.

Dear Yvonne

Congratulations on your fine win!

A cracking poem that incorporates every season with such splendid descriptions, it's hardly any wonder you won top prize in this competition.

Lovely to see your writing again having had a long break from the site.

I look forward to reading more :)

Much love

Your creativity is showing -- and I LOVE it! "God's studio" -- how imaginative. I don't see how a five-linepoem could be more beautiful. Best of luck in the booth!

This is a great contest entry, Mystery Writer. I love the feeling, the great rhymes, and the imagery projected from your words. I agree that no two seasons are alike just like fingerprints and snowflakes.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Hello Y. M. Roger
Yes there seasons of year are ever alike...
Yes with the way you describe the seasons--
Is a Masterpiece of two artistic forms of art, poetry and gives an image of each season of the year.

    Oh, Gert, you have made my weekend!! :) ;) Thank you, THANK YOU for those lovely stars, my lady - I am so pleased you enjoyed this one! Quick contest entries are what I have time for these days as we're trying to 'downsize' and this 'semblance' of classes started this week... I'm looking forward to a more 'normal routine' really soon!! Take care of you out there and enjoy the remainder of the weekend! ;)

This is a fine entry for the Four Seasons contest, Mystery Poet. You have managed to rhyme every line. I especially like "God's studio".
The only change I would make,
"Each year's a new treasure from God's studio!"
Shouldn't it be,
"Each season's a new treasure from God's studio!"
or, if you'd like some alliteration and better meter,
"Each term's a new treasure from God's studio!" ... term, meaning a period of time.
But I like the way you introduce each season,
"Winter's white canvas"
"Spring splashes bright colors"
"heat waves of Summer"
"Autumn's breeze brushes bold shapes"
Nicely penned! Good Luck in the voting booths.
Cheers,
Kimbob
