Springtime Imagined

  I'll write thee a Sonnet of joy,not sad
     painting flowers with notes a robin sings
  if only on paper the heart beats glad
      stir winter's cauldron with whispers of spring
  Imagine a view of springtime's bouquet
      hither and yon willows sway in cool breeze
grass now green their dancefloors,whence white snow lay
      'neath auzure skies enchantment takes seize
  O' that Spring's fragrance would flavor stale air
      fresh fields of heather and lavender blue
  O' that Winter's bare frost disappear
      as fair scents enter with springtime's debut

'Alas time knows days and doth count each hour
                 'til, let's imagine Springtime's first flower

Ah, bless you! Heavens know how much I love poetry and that too, nature poetry :) This felt like a long, tiring walk into the woods on a springtime. Alas, I have never been to a woods before, I can only imagine and sigh. It is poets like you that bring alive the sight :) Bless you again!

Keep writing.

you are such a seasonal writer. You capture nature and the seasons so well and these types of pieces are what i remember most of your writings. Beautiful sonnet, beautiful words, beautiful you :)

Lovely. Our daffodils have been blooming quite some time, they were poking their yellow heads above the snow yesterday. I always look for the grape hyacinths to bloom...and the violets. Purple is a favorite color for me.
