                        Winter's Chill By Heather Burns   Source: PoemHunter.com

Winter arrived no warning

Snow covered the ground

Like a weightless blanket

The air was brisk

Sweeping across my face

Chilling to my spleen

You touched me

I was warm again

  A Winter Message By Mark R Slaughter Source: PoemHunter.com

A flake of snow in flurry thro' the air

Had landed as a kiss upon my cheek:

A secret message, just for me to share;

To take my heart but never dare to speak

About or presuppose to other eyes

Your open feelings -- distant through they are

And so, upon my lips, my own surprise:

A flake of snow returned from me afar

          Winters Summer By Venkatesh Magaraj Source: PoemHunter.com

Winter without you is like

A summer in the winter, when memories

of your love murmur in my winter.

Summer in a winter was never been

Hot as it is, When memories 

Of your love trills me today.

Winters summer were very rare when

We walked on the bed of purple flowers

With your affectionate look.

When I forgot this heat and

Hold you in my poetic arms, you

Kiss my poem through your heart

In this winter

Winters summer was very rare.....

                     Priarie Born By Dave Bouchard 

I know that I'm rambling but all this is true

It's more than a memory of times that I knew

It answers the mystery of what lies in our souls

Where nature's the teacher for young and old

It shapes us from childhood through sun and through rain

Compels us to live for pleasures and pain

And the secret of me form the day of my birth

Is it naturing seasons and rich prairie earth

                 Prairie Born By Dave Bouchard

I'll always remember the times that I stood

Alone on the prairie, 'neath the stars when I could

My gaze towards heaven, my feet on the clay

While standing there breathing, I learned how to pray

And the prairie continues to live in my heart

It's much more than memories that tell me apart

It's the wind and the sun, the cold and the snow

Only things that a child of a prairie will know.

            Bed in Summer By Robert Louis Stevenson

In winter I get up at night

And dress by yellow candle-light

In summer, quite the other way,

I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see

The birds still hopping on the tree

or hear the grown-up people's feet

Still going past me in the street

And does it not seem hard to you,

When all the sky is clear and blue

And I should like so much to play,

To have to go to bed by day?

*International poet*

        For Once, Then, Something By Robert Frost Source: Poets.org

Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs

Always wrong to the light, so never seeing

Deeper down in the well than where the water

Gives me back in a shinning surface picture

Me myself in the summer heaven godlike

Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,

Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,

I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,

Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,

Something more of the depth--and then I lost it.

Water came to rebuke the too clear water.

One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple 

Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,

Blurred it, blotted it out. What was the whiteness?

Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.

*Canadian poet*

         Summer Light By Moonbee Canady Source: PoemHunter.com

Summer Light -Thru the Trees

Summer Light - Spotted Me

Summer Light - Palest Gold

Summer Light - Bright and Bold

I Saw Summer Light Descend

Summer Light, Made Shadows Bend

Summer Light, On An Emerald Pond

I Reached Out… It Touched My Palm

Summer Light, It Fell Like Powder

Or a Floating Incandescent Feather

Came Down, Like A Sheer, White Swan

Summer Light – Lifted Wing-Like Arms

So Sunrays Slanted – Shone-Misty

Summer Light-Beams, Embraced Me

Warm, Wonderful Summer Light

Touch Me Tender, Solar- Might

Summer Light, When I Was Lost

Summer Light, Found Me Before Frost

Summer Light - None Else Looked For Me…

Summer Light Said, “I Always See…”

                First Rose of Summer Dreams Source: PoemHunter.com

As gently as the summer breeze

As softly as the summer rose

As sweet as the summer rain

Just one stolen kiss

Thrown from you

Stolen from you

Captured from you

In those summer dreams

For, I miss you most of all

When all my sunsets start to fall

                          A Summer Sun             Source:PoemHunter.com

The scent of summer 

hovers in the air 

when evening breezes blow. 

The summer’s warming fingers 

touches every living soul 

setting young lover’s hearts aglow. 

Shadowy lanes filled with kisses 

as lovers stroll arm in arm, 

faces beam with smiles 

when summer winds are fair. 

The sadness of winter’s gloom 

is lifted in a sigh 

as the warming summer sun 

lifts each spirit high.
