My Canadian Poem #2

The Seasons of Canada
Brendan Meagher

A Ballad written in Iambic Tetrameter

(Rhyme Scheme: A, B, C, B)

The summer months, they come and go,
The sky so blue and sunny too.
No clouds to see, just you and me,
The children going to the zoo.

But then it comes, the leaves they fall,
The season is ‘a changing fast.
Cool temperatures, and back to school,
Pumpkins, thanksgiving, it can’t last.

The snow, it falls, children, they call,
Sharing gifts and celebrating.
Hot chocolate and lighting fires,
Memories they are creating.

But then it melts, and birds, they sing,
The heat picks up, the warm winds blow.
April showers, and May flowers,
You come outside, grass starts to grow.

The seasons, they all come and go,
But then it starts over again.
It’s Canada we love so dear,
A cycle that will never end.
