All Seasons’ Children

by Shamik Banerjee 

The child of Summer wears a crown

as bright the compass of the Sun;

whose joyful mood coruscates down

to lighten it on everyone.

The child of Monsoon calmly sits

to watch the landscape mirth in rain;

he inclines to scholarly wits

and mostly does to self-remain.

The Autumn’s child has many friends

who fit on him, heart’s peaked bouquet;

they merge their inns then take their bends

to spaces lost and far away.

The child of Frost, o’errules the world;

his say is first and most his cheer;

his woe be shot and smiles impearled

and obeisant must be each compeer.

The child of Spring is cherub-sweet

whose tendance makes each comer blest;

a Poet’s sprite; a heart most meet

where emotions from all do rest!
