Changing Seasons
Temperatures dropping low, the earth spins around
Sunshine warms this empty space, seasons keep changing
Whether snow or rain we see, changing times prevail
Reach into my bag of tricks, stay glued to your spot

The Japanese forms have such a loose feel within constraints – this one feels organic in its flow!
