The seasons of poetry
The switches between life and death
Silence and noise
None and abundance
Monotone and color
They switch like a light
Dark to bright
Poetry is like the seasons
Some days
It's like Winter
The trees are dead
Life is in hibernation
Animals sleep in no sensation
Waiting for the seasons to move
The air is frozen and cold
Waiting for the temperature to rise
The ground is colored in white
A white page
Waiting to change
But the white still stays
Some days
It's like Summer
The water crashes against the sand
Forming white foam
But then the water flows back
Dragging back the stones
Into the depths of the ocean
To sink and fall
Gone
Like the wind
But in Summer
There is no wind
It's just dry and hot
Staying still
While the people
Are filling the streets
Until they spill
It's the opportunity
For people to be surrounded by others
Or for people to be surrounded by no other
Some days
It's like Fall
The leaves switch from green to tangerine
Daylight leaves us earlier
Life starts to leave
We hold on to the last bits of life
The cold starts to come
The temperature begins to fall
A normal day
But with the world a little bit sadder than it was yesterday
Some days
The good days
It's like Spring
Life comes out of hiding
And everything bursts
Flowers
And fruit
Animals
And life
Sometimes
There's rain
When the clouds dump everything onto the streets
Waiting for the world
To collect
Or dance in it
There's so much
It's so bright
It's so beautiful
And just so right
Everything is there
It's always right there
To be drawn
Or written
Or blissed in
Spring is the season
That I love most
Because the poetry
Is so close
Ready to be written down
It's on the tips of my fingers
And the tips of my skin
The tip of the world
And the tip of breathing in
It's filled in the air
And it's filled everywhere
Spring is the days
That I have multiple poems
Written down
Or dancing in my mind
Summer is the days
That I have poetry
That is still and raw
My emotions flow out
And swim in the sea
And then
It leaves
Fall is the days
That I either have none or some
It's those little words
That I write
In between my day
Where I just need to let out
And get rid of all that grey
Winter is the days
When I have nothing
No inspiration
No motivation
It doesn't cloud my mind
Like a virus or plague
It sits back
And watch the world be vague
That's okay
Because those are the days that I don't feel much emotion
I just live life
And wait for something to change
The seasons of poetry
They switch so quickly
But the result
Is beauty
