Each season paints our world with its unique brushstrokes. Today's poem from the Hello Universe archive is a reflection on this constant dance with the seasons, capturing the fleeting joy and inevitable struggles they bring.
I hope it speaks to you and brings a sense of warmth as we journey through the ever-changing tapestry of time together.
Alright, poem starts in 3… 2… 1!
Winter is so awesome! Yes, we get to wear new coats! We snuggle up in blankets! And ski down from snowy slopes! ⛷️🏂🏔️ Summer's pretty pleasing, too! With slushies made of ice! With time spent on some beaches! Gobbling down a mango slice! ☀️🍦🏖️🥭 Ah, the feel of rainy days! With water pouring down! I make a cup of steaming tea! I gaze upon the town! ⛈️☔☕ I love the changing seasons. But I end up feeling stressed. 'Cause they are fun for one - two days, and then I hate the rest. 😥😿😰 For winters get so gloomy, and so cold they give me shivers. And at their coldest they give me some violent coughs and fevers. 😪🤧🤒 The summers are the most uncomfortable that I get. There's thirst and heat and glare and dust, and then there's all the sweat! 🥵🥺😫 The monsoons bring mosquitoes! And the potholes on our roads. And when it's really dark at night, you hear the frogs and toads. 🌧️🦟🐸🌧️ So what I've learnt from seasons is - what comes will soon be gone. The wheel of time goes round and round and life, my friend, goes on. 🕛🕒🕕🕘🕛

Absolutely gorgeous! I sooooo relate to this verse:
"I love the changing seasons.
But I end up feeling stressed.
'Cause they are fun for one - two days,
and then I hate the rest."
🤣
How can one pick a favorite season? In spring everything blooms and is pretty, summer is for late night lounging, the colours of autumn are amazing, and if we're lucky, we can play in the snow in winter.
Don't pick one, enjoy all. Even in the dark days, cuddle up on the sofa with your favorite hot drink and movie.
