Excellent

First three lines tell us how we right about the seasons. The last brings a slice of the cosmic to the poem.

Keep writing

Enjoyed how the first and last words rhymed--nice touch. The phrase "wrapped in metaphors" is a great way to say much in a few words. very effective four line poem.

I think your fine poem has pretty much given us the rundown on the four seasons and how easily the winds can blow in changes. Great job, and best of luck in the contest. :-)

I was surprised to find a well timed internal rhyming four-line poem. The rhythm and flow are excellent with the right amount of phonetics. I liked the sound of the R between reason and wrapped and then metaphors and wrestling, not to forget the alliteration of W in the middle two lines. Well done. Your metaphor of creative winds and doors is beautiful. Good artwork. Should be a contender for the contest. Good luck.

A very well-written four line poem. Each season has its own beauty and splendor. The wind, sun and rains shape nature to renewed scenery.

I know you're only responding to the rules, Art, but I don't see the point in these syllable restrictions, though I guess ANY restrictions are a challenge to the writer.

Nice internal rhyme and alliteration.

'wrestling with winds' is a top metaphor, and visual, too.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray.

Thanks, Ray - I also don't understand 'why the syllable restrictions' - as I wonder if there were many famous poems written with these restrictions, or maybe Tom wants this form to become a fad or something? Anyway, I'm always up for a challenge. Glad you enjoyed the rhymes, alliteration and metaphor. Do appreciate all your comments.

Cheers ... ;-) Art

Hey there, Art! So nice to see you posting again. Welcome back!

What fun to find well timed internal rhymes in a four line poem. The rhythm and music in this is superb. I read it aloud twice.
Fantastic phonetics!
Love the consonance of R between reason and wrapped, metaphors and wrestling (plus alliteration of W in middle two lines)

Nice metaphor of creative winds and doors of perception!

The artwork is a perfect match.

Bravo, and good luck in the contest.

Warm Smiles,
rd
