The Orchard - Franklin Cosgrove (Lincoln, Nebraska)
Spring
Spring leaves
blooming, growing.
Winter winds stop blowing.
The cold leaving, winds gently
breathing.
First plants start to sprout, feel the cold running out.
Summer
Leaves growing a luscious green.
Apples ripening a radiant gleam.
Rare wind blowing
Now and then rain flowing.
Fall
Radiant colors,
bright golden glow.
A yellow sunshine
and orange flow.
Apples ready for harvesting
bold, bright they gleam.
A delicious snack or a well-deserved treat, they seem.
A cold winter breeze and a fresh winter chill
brings out harvesters and gives an unexpected thrill. Now all are cold, harvested trees.
Wait till next year
for great memories.
Winter
A cold, white wonderland, air crisp and spicy
Heavy snow, pure white, sparkling and icy.
A stern chill in the air.
Trees hibernating without a care.
Soon spring will come with glory and glee.
Another year begins harvesting the trees.
