Restrictions: None
Cyclical
Spring releases fragile fruit blossoms,
Fleeting golden leaves fading to immature green.
Summer brings thunderstorms, scorching heat,
Indelible watermelon ice cream memories
Under endless sun, skies of fireworks.
We feel forever young, foolish, free,
Until suddenly…
Autumn: warm crinkled confetti cascades
Chilly nights, blankets, pumpkins,
Existential crisis of contracting daylight.
Count our blessings while we can.
Winter… the year's dying breath
Snow lies thick over permafrost
All seems lost.
Yet it begins again—
Cyclical.
Such is our life on earth:
Springtime babes grow up too fast,
Summertime wastrels spend it all,
Autumnal body's subtle warnings,
Lead inevitably to winter's slow demise.
If well-lived, the seed is sown
For lives beyond what is now known.


23 lines, 114 words.
Prompt: Must use the words spring, summer, autumn and winter.
