There are many poems about seasons:
At the Sea-Side by Robert Louis Stevenson
When I was down beside the sea 
A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore.
My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up,
Till it could come no more.
In July by Evaleen Stein
Let us find a shady wady 
Pretty little brook;
Let us have some candy handy,
And a picture book.
There all day we’ll stay and play and
Never mind the heat,
While the water gleaming, streaming,
Ripples round our feet.
| An Autumn Greeting | ||

| “Come,” said the Wind to the Leaves one day. “Come over the meadow and we will play. Put on your dresses of red and gold. For summer is gone and the days grow cold.” |
Falling Snow
See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky; 
On the wall and housetops
Soft and thick they lie.
On the window ledges,
On the branches bare;
Now how fast they gather,
Filling all the air.
Look into the garden,
Where the grass was green;
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.
Now the bare black bushes
All look soft and white,
Every twig is laden,
What a pretty sight!
Wake up!!
Wake up, Brown Bear!
The leaves are green,
The snow has melted, 
The birds now sing.
Wake up, farmer!
No time for rest,
seeds need planting,
baby birds in nest!
