SPRING TO WINTER

START

Poem written by Gillian Craig

SPRING TO WINTER

Buds and shoots are pushing up Flowers opening to the sun Bright green freshness everywhere Lambs and ducklings having fun Kites are flying on the wind Sudden showers make us run. These are things that tell us when Spring’s here again.

Days that last a long, long time Children swimming in the sea Ice cream in the hot bright sun Shining leaves on every tree There’s no school so every day All my friends can play with me. These are things that tell us when Summer’s here again.

Leaves are falling on the ground All the trees drop their disguise Squirrels gather up their nuts Sleepy creatures close their eyes Days are short: afternoons and Mornings have much darker skies. These are things that tell us when Autumn’s here again.

Stars like snowflakes in the sky Robins sit on leafless trees All the children wish for snow Waiting for the lakes to freeze Cheeks and noses turn bright red Many people start to sneeze. These are things which tell us when Winter’s here again.
