WINTER

WINTER

Winter in German, time for water

Times of rain and snow of winter

It’s cold and icy there

White and splendid every where

No bud of spring, no laugh of summer

No dream of love, no song of bird to hear

Season of dormancy for crops

Plants die, seeds wait for spring

Many animals dormant, hibernate

 Or With enough food in storage

Pines covered with ice

Juniper shagged with ice

Trees in nakedness waiting

For music of leaves in spring

Women in jackets, coats, sweaters and pull overs

Clothes embellish personality markers

Stay warm while keeping chic

Aside cold, snow, sleet and adverse effects

Dehydration in summer, fever in rainy season

Winter is free of all these, a good season

Winter sports are fun for all

Played on snow or ice natural or artificial

Skiing, skating, ice hockey, curling, Bandy

Sledding to the bottom of giant hill slowly

Safety rules beware and careful

In summer cherries, in spring straw berries

In winter treat yourself with orange variety

Tangerines small, sweet and easy to peel

Inside like baby’s toes, perfect and clean, appeal 

Blood oranges with their deep red flush

Caracaras with their interiors juicy and pink

Clementine   with honey like sweet flavor

Kishus   oranges   sweet and candy nature

Navel oranges sweet and juicy

Mandarins small and sweet

Nature treats us with variety of citrus fruits

With a myriad of health virtues

Winter with frosty trees, over cast skies

Low temperatures and snow fall

Nature repeats its form in fascinating ways

Man gives character and meaning to its ways
