My 4 Seasons

Like the changing of the seasons, the cycle has no end
a roller coaster ride from hell, the good and bad they blend.
Mistaken screams of terror, for the joys that once I knew
emotions like the autumn leaves, they scatter yet accrue.

Most times I'm like the winter, frozen tundras void of life
so desolate, the world around, to it I am a blight.
Fresh fallen snow, like me has charm, and for some has mass appeal
admire and partake too long, left unable to feel.

Summertime, fun to be had, at least in memories
my temper is that time of year, so there's no joy for me.
A heatwave blast, hot humid air, leaves scorched earth in it's wake
if found like this then stay away, your feelings I'll forsake.

Spring has sprung, time for rebirth, my spirit it includes
renewed strength, albeit brief, happiness I now exude.
I wish this time of year for me, could last the most of all
you see me I am winter, spring the summer and the fall.

I enjoyed your poem , best line :

"emotions like the autumn leaves, they scatter yet accrue."

I hope you appreciate this but there were a few lines that if you spent a little more time with would improve the flow tremendously

Fresh fallen snow, like me has charm, and for some has mass appeal
admire and partake too long, left unable to feel.

maybe:

Fresh fallen snow, like me has charm, for some has mass appeal.
Admire and partake too long, frost bite you will not feel.

I wish this time of year for me, could last the most of all
you see me I am winter, spring the summer and the fall.

maybe:

This time of year to never end, a wish that's most of all.
You see I am all seasons, winter thru to fall.

Just a suggestion :)

Thank you Ron

I appreciate all constructive criticism and suggestions. I admit I was a little hard pressed for time while writing. Normally I would save and continue but it was one of my moody days so I was a bit hasty. Thanks again for the kind words and the comment. And I truly appreciate you taking the time to read and give suggestions.

Stay well, One love and God bless!
