dipping paintbrush
in raindrop water
and splattering lightly
showered blue paint
on the icy white canvas,
this is winter

next comes spring
squeezing dripping water,
dipping brush in evergreen trees
and dexterously outlining
the silhouettes of maples
and dainty daffodils

squeezing brush completely dry
and dabs yellow sun
to compromise
refreshing yellow lemonade
and golden-yellow swaying fields
sweat dribbling down chin

last is autumn
soak brush,
add water,
splatter mud, red crispy leaves
like red confetti
crinkling under your feet
