My Seasons
Joe Schneberger

I wake up
The year is new
Cold air
My teeth chatter

Spring comes
The sun warms my bones

Summer takes forever to arrive
And then finally
That perfect day
That perfect night -with fireflies and a perfect full moon over the lake
A night you remember and go to in your mind when its 20 below

Fall arrives
Maple trees change color and welcome the frost
Kids play football
Most of us eat turkey

Snow falls
Mistletoe hangs
A year gone by

I wake up
The year is new
Cold air
My teeth chatter
