Iowa: We All Come Back Again

The blustery base from snow white storms 
A pleasant January seems out of the norm
Properties and pathways laid out like a grid
With soil and sand sold to the highest bid

Spring swings in late like your kin 
Never when we expect it 
But exactly when intended
With windows open we welcome it in

Summer's always a crap shoot
Wizened one week, irriguous the next 
The contrast greets us with petrichor 
The smell of fresh rain, I always want more

Summer's end brings seasons change 
Plenty of colors, out come the covers 
Autumn leaves crumble, watch them all fall 
Fowl fly south, feathers flutter in the wind 
We're all searching for cordial weather 
Patiently I wait praying 
Soon both will be back again
