THE SEASONS, first version
Flowers
bloom in meadows or vases.
Beating of
mats all surpasses.
Paths are
regravelled
and poems
unravelled
for now it
is springtime in Denmark.
Washing can
flap while its drying.
Young kids
get spots that are trying.
Girls must
take teasing
and
football’s unceasing
for now it
is summer in Denmark.
Days now
seem shorter and gloomy.
Schoolkids
unruly and rheumy.
Clothes get
outdated
tears flow
unabated
for now it
is autumn in Denmark.
Deaths. New
divorces. Long novels.
Plans in
cold storage and snuffles.
Noses start
dripping
and
schnozzles start dipping
for now it is winter in Denmark.
for now it is winter in Denmark.
