  • Spring, from Old English spring, wellspring

    Winter, from Middle English, from Old English; akin to Old High German wintar winter and perhaps to Lithuanian vanduo water, Old English wæter -

    Summer, from Middle English sumer, from Old English sumor; akin to Old High German & Old Norse sumer summer, Sanskrit samA year, season

    Fall, from Middle English, from Old English feallan; akin to Old High German fallan to fall

    Winter's implies a frozen watery fluster from a blustery hinterland.
    Spring suggests a well from which new flings are flung,
    Summer seems the perfect season and heat is the reason.
    But Fall, O Fall's too simply just fall.
    The leaves fall -duh.
    Who was the master of the obvious that coined it thus?
    I think it would be smarter much to call Fall 'Left'
    For when the leaves leave, they've 'Left', no?
    And what is 'Left' when the leaves are gone and nature's nakedness begs for snow?
    Besides, it's obvious to me that Summer is oh so right.
    And when what's so right for us has 'Left',
    It leads to dead Winter-which is obviously sooo wrong.
