Winter knows

Spring had sprung

Butterflies in

Her tum

Followed by

Summer's overwhelming

Heart melting sun

But then

The fall

In love?

Or 

Not at all?

Only

Winter's snow

Truely knows

🌷(1) 

Love stages   Seasons change

Open the poem
find one inside
open that poem
you find Ruth
working on another!

Nigel I always enjoy the way you find another poem within the poem. Given me an idea for yet another genre of poetry, The Russian Doll effect!

Love can wait
then miss out

Love can go
then get hurt

Love can find
warm summer sun

Winter snow falls
butterflies keep warm.
