ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: The Seasons of Light, by Anita Bickle

Crispness,
Early morning dappled sunrise sending tendrils of
light through wispy clouds cutting the slumbering
earth’s crispness as she awakens for the new day.

Sultriness,
Permeating warmth, emanating from the earth,
sending steaming tendrils of light that create
shimmering hazy sheens and the sultriness causes
cicadas to sing.

Mottled,
Dappled leaves, multicoloured red, orange and
yellow, are illuminating tendrils of light as
luminescent beams through mottled tree-lined
streets that are now rivers of brilliance.

Placid
Dormant lethargy, quiet idleness waiting with
tendrils of placid light that barely warm frozen
earth, resting in hibernation and inactive icy
inertia.
