Earth Ovation, A Spring-time Sonnet Options

[Athena]

Heyyyyyy Snow!

LOVE your poem!  Do you live in Australia?  South Africa?  I'm sweltering here in intense summer heat and you're writing about beautiful spring!  

However, the poem is lovely and lyrical.  I love meter and rhyme .. just wish I could write it better.

Thanks for being the first poster in this forum!  Lovely way to begin.

Blessings,
Athena/Dolly

Earth Awakes  


As birds fly home to warble songs
all nature stirs to life, and longs
to shake off winter’s sleepy break.
Springtime is here and earth’s awake.


On slender stems, exquisite leaves
become the daffodils’ green sleeves.
Their yellow trumpets raise to sing
and herald birth of verdant spring.


Twigs new and old burst out their buds,
while creatures wake and nature floods
the earth with life, refreshed from sleep;
bright meadow flowers start to peep.


The sun shines through a softened breeze
to set the scene; I feel at ease.

Hello Eisa~

I thoroughly enjoyed your refreshing sonnet, as the imagery and lovely alliteration brings your poem to life.        



I especially like this stanza:

On slender stems, exquisite leaves
become the daffodils’ green sleeves.
Their yellow trumpets raise to sing
and herald birth of verdant spring.


Very beautiful!      

In love~
