Seasons In Poetry
by Ed Robertson
A journey through the four seasons — in verse, in memory, in life.
With the air
Of the softest cloud
With the glow
Of stars in the night sky
Your Dreamy Brown Eyes
Speak to me…
— from "Dreamy Brown Eyes"
The Poet
Ed Robertson
Ed Robertson is a poet born and raised in Austin, Texas. His work moves through the four seasons as life does — sometimes gently, sometimes with unexpected force — drawing on decades of feeling, faith, and close attention to the world around him.
"Poetry is how I make sense of what the seasons teach us."
Four Seasons, One Voice
Each season brings its own music. Each poem, its own quiet revelation.
Spring
Beauty, Grace & Renewal
Beauty in this season of life — God's presence, grace, and the quiet miracle of beginning again.
"First Thaw" · "God"
Summer
Hopeful & Sometimes Painful
A season sometimes painful and hopeful — verses of loss and love under long, golden days.
"Haying" · "Dreamy Brown Eyes"
Fall
Love Through the Eyes of Man
Love and its issues as seen through the eyes of man — amber light, falling leaves, and the bittersweet beauty of things passing into memory.
"Autumn Vespers" · "War Undeclared"
✦ Featured Season
Winter
Love, Grieving & Hope
Dealing with love, grieving, and hope through a cold season — quiet meditations on the deep patience of the earth beneath the snow.
"Dealing With This Water"
From the Pages
A Season in Every Line
Spring
God
Light
The dew on a blade of grass at dawn
The colors of the spectrum
And those we have yet to see…
— God, 2005
Summer
Dreamy Brown Eyes
With the air
Of the softest cloud
With the glow
Of stars in the night sky
Your Dreamy Brown Eyes
Speak to me…
— Dreamy Brown Eyes, 2004
Fall
War Undeclared
I choose to march forward
at merciless peril of your armaments
Unafraid of what you may do
Her majesty…
Just may be
Worth the fight…
— War Undeclared, 2010
Winter
Dealing With This Water
I'm in a flood
Washed away
swept off my feet
one log rolls by I grab on
hope…
