30 Day Poetry Challenge: Day 12

My daughter Hannah suggested this challenge for our family. She wants to try writing more poetry, and she's hoping that this challenge will get her into the habit.

She, my daughter Emma, and I started this thing, and then my wife joined after a few days. Now we are all doing the challenge. 

Today is Day 12.

12. Write about the seasons as if they were people. How do they feel?

Winter, you are so good to see

When you bother to come around

I love to ski your snowy goodness

Atop your glorious shroud.

Spring, you’re kind of a drag, you know,

With the Sun a maybe half-power,

It’s rainy all the time, it’s true;

That’s how you bring the flowers.

Summer, you’re oft too hot by far

But fun, too, all the same

Swimming in open water rocks,

It keeps me in the game.

Fall, you are the best of all,

My favorite of the seasons

Autumn leaves and football games,

Yeah, those are my reasons.

And now you know the seasons

As though they were real folk.

They’ve each a personality 

To know as if we’d spoke.
