Poetry activities: Seasons

Each season brings its own beauty and delight, but often, one season can begin to merge with another at the beginning or end.

Explain to the children that the poem ‘I am Winter, King of Seasons’ is a letter poem, in which seasons are personified. Winter tells Autumn, rather impolitely, that its turn is over, and it is ‘Time to go!/ Scram! Vamoose’. Winter then claims that he is ‘King of Seasons’.
