POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a shift from one season to the next.
You should have a literal side to this poem - eg winter turning to spring - but you could also tie in a metaphorical meaning of changing seasons.
A Temptress Ever-Changing
If I were to compare thee to the summers day,
Thou would not be the the lovely warmth of the sun, or the trees of fair green.
Thee would be the hot scorching flames,
Under the tempting golden sun.
Thee would be the maddening heat,
Driving men to commit deeds only passion commends.
And at which hour the dizzying temptation subsided, thee morph into winter.
Cold and unfeeling,
Pale and unyielding.
Breaking my heart worse than the scorching flames I fell.
My winter, my summer, thee shalt be the death of me.
And the air that grants me life.
