Indian Seasons

Poem

Indian Seasons

Summer comes

in a blaze of heat

with sunny smiles

and dusty feet

Then seasons change

to muddy roads

monsoons and mangoes

leapfrogs and toads

Spring is pretty

but short and sweet

when you can smell the grass

rom your garden seat

Autumn is English

in red, yellow and brown

Autumn is Indian

whenever leaves fall down
