War of the Year
April 19, 2014
Sweltering landscape,
The smiling sun now free
And the breeze has died.
It’s changing, falling,
Sometimes slow, sometimes fast
Preparing for cold.
The wind’s icy breath,
Penetrating all jackets,
Waging war with warmth.
The war has been won,
Warmth winning with a rainbow,
Hope of the seasons.

What a gorgeous series of haikus. Each one is unique and beautifully worded. My favorite line is "Waging war with warmth". I thought that was really poetic. Great job! Five stars

i never thought about it like that, but now that I do, you are right! What began as poems about the seasons, became a description of life! Thank you for this insight! :)
