Autumn is a solitude
Winter is a fortitude
Spring is an altitude
Summer is an attitude

Summer is a multitude
Autumn is an aptitude
Winter is a Quaalude
Spring is a prelude

Spring is a lassitude
Summer is a longitude
Autumn is a gratitude
Winter is an interlude

Winter is a beatitude
Spring is a platitude
Summer is a verisimilitude
Autumn is a semi-nude

from the tiny



Willits Library National Poetry Month Poem of the Day - April 3, 2010
　　
Wendell Berry
Woods

I part the out thrusting branches
and come in beneath
the blessed and the blessing trees.
Though I am silent
there is singing around me.
Though I am dark
there is vision around me.
Though I am heavy
there is flight around me.
