I am not a big fan of the winter time. That picture and your words made me want to go put a coat on even in my warm house. Use of the word bummer was a great word choice. Great job.

Thanks for your complimentary review, SLee. Much appreciated!

Witty and clever. A unique response to the contest challenge. Well done. good personification. I like Spring as 'mother'- associated with brth. the rhymes are clever. A 'vacation reason' is a fun line. the fall line does not make sense, fully, as summer is vacation, so why would it need relief? But if you mention heat, then it makes sense. Example edit:
Fall, heat-relief from summer.
This is true, though I enjoy a good winter coziness by the fire:
Winter can become a bummer!
Fine entry. Good luck!
Warmly, rd

Hi again, rd. Thanks for your excellent review. I wrote Fall is a relief from Summer, intentionally not referring specifically to weather, but rather as a welcome change from whatever the reader considers excesses of Summer. I wanted each season's line to be different from what might be expected.
I appreciate your helpfulness.
