A Poem on Seasons
Winter wraps the earth in silent snow,
Trees stand bare, their branches low,
Birds have flown to distant lands,
Seeking warmth from sun’s bright hands.
Spring unfolds with April’s gentle showers,
Buds burst open, like tiny flowers,
Bees hum loudly in the early light,
While kites dance high, a joyful sight.
Summer days are long and hot,
Streams flow lazy, not a lot,
Ice cream drips down sticky (黏的) hands,
Under shade where time stands.
Autumn leaves turn red and gold,
Falling softly, story untold,
Farmers harvest crops with care,
As days grow short, coolness in the air.
