THE best and most creative answers I have ever gotten to any question! Bravo ladies!! It is hard to pick a best.....

Answer 1

The Elephant Days of Autumn
Were lastly where I sought em
Hidden behind the maple tree
Til it shook and shed its leaves
To my surprise, all was revealed
To think the tree had so concealed
A behemoth! Who'd of thought em?
I had found the Elephautumn!

Answer 2

Yes! This is awesome, I'm going to start saying this. And if I get permission I'm going to use it in my comic strip (with a credit to you guys of course) :D

But if you're going to go that far, why not go one further:
Dog days of summer
Cat nights of winter
Elephant evenings of autumn
Platypus mornings of spring

Since the Dog and Cat have already been describe I will add this for the other two:

Platypus Mornings of Spring: I imagine the platypus as being busy, running errands, a getting ready sort of thing, like spring. Doing some cleaning in his burrow, maybe getting out the good china for a nice brunch for his friends.

Elephant Evenings of Autumn: And the elephants going around a circle under the twilight sky telling stories. Folk stories I guess, the kind that are really good to listen to and contain old wisdom.

Answer 3

A Platypus seems well-engineered for a day in Spring
With his duck's bill and webbed feet
He could walk out into the rainy days
And still look really neat!

Now elephants in Autumn might seem a little too big
To pick pumpkins with pies to bake
But can you just imagine when he jumps in a pile of dry raked leaves
What a glorious CRUNCH he'd make?

My favourite is Beltane by way of a few distance. The Earth is blooming and transforming into. each thing looks so clean and new. the days are bright and heat and basically feels "suitable". on an identical time as I have fun Samhain as my New 12 months, by some means I continuously sense Beltane is a rebirth for me for my section. i'm waiting to burdens and rigidity and be "unfastened" as a manner to talk. I additionally continuously participate in dancing the could Pole, that's some thing very particular to me because of the fact it grow to be my first ever ritual. i assume it continuously reminds me of laying off my previous self, and being delivered lower back into my new existence as a pagan. that's extremely perplexing to describe in a manner that others will comprehend. besides! super question! bright advantages! Edit: "those 2 situations of 12 months are when I look maximum energetic and beneficial, and easily "intense on existence." Why do you think of it fairly is? i could say Beltane and yuletide, yet thats basically me.
