Seasons


Winter, summer, rainy season

Different, look, one, another

Change, dress, pattern.



This poem reflects how we here in New York have three seasons: “Winter, summer, rainy.” Usually all the seasons have a great impact on us. Every season comes to us with its own characteristics. They do not have any voice, and they do not command us. However, without saying anything they affect us a lot. For example, the line “Change, dress, pattern” means that we have to change when the weather changes. When winter appears to us with its lazy and chilly look, it tells us to wrap up ourselves with heavy clothes. To keep ourselves safe and warm, we follow its silent command. On the other hand, summer comes to us with a very different look than winter. It tells us to wake up and put those heavy clothes in our closet. This is the time for colorful and light dresses. It tells us to be lively and interesting like nature. The rainy season presents itself in a very different way. Sometimes it combines itself with the characteristics of both winter and summer and sometimes requires people to carry an umbrella. In the rainy season, sometimes we wear clothes that are neither heavy or light, but in-between. Basically the poem show us that to save ourselves from the hastiness of nature we need to adopt different clothing arrangements depending on the seasons. The different types of clothes represent the individual atmosphere of individual seasons.
