I Know My Seasons

I know my seasons (poem)

As sun rises early and the heat irritates,

... Holidays help me sleeping till late

I dont track time and neither the dates

...I feel like that King - Alexander the great!

As I laze around all day acting like a hummer

I know that season, it is called summer


After summer, the rains do come,

...It brings happiness to the birds who hum,

I feel like dancing to the beat of drum

... getting wet in the downpour feels absolutely awsome

Hmmmm, I do catch cough & cold pretty much soon

I know that season, it is definitely Monsoon

As the Monsoon is on... we wish it stalls,

...to welcome the time some call - "The Fall"

Even as festival season starts to entrall

I delve into the freshly harvested fruit haul

And as My study time hits rock bottom,

I know that season, it is called autumn


And then comes the time which I love utmost,

...as we all wait for year-end the most

The days are shorter, the nights like ghost,

...the temperature dips lower than the lowermost!

And as I celebrate with the stars that glinter

I know that season, it is my lovely winter


So Yes Sir, Yes Maam... I do know my seasons.

Thank You.
