*English Sonnet and Lipogram (excluding the letter "A")*
Light Is Life The sun looks different when Spring is here Lining up through the sky to my window Eerie sometimes, or confusing, I peer This weird light shines it's bright Life giving glow. First, the green sprouts of the yellow flower Poking up through frozen ground into light Witnessing this Springs refreshing power I observe living things give birth with fight Tiny seeds of promise not forgotten In wombs of soil or gentle, fertile flesh Time ensues to bring us the begotten Together Life, hope, love will mix, will mesh. The thirst for life, the hunger, must be there For Spring is light, light is Life, everywhere.

Yes, light is life, a gift from a benevolent Creator who himself is Light (1 John 1:5). What I love about Spring is the birds in the morning. Another gift. Nice sonnet, one of my fave styles to write in

I enjoyed this challenge very much! For a contest... English Sonnet and Lipogram excluding"A". I think I'll attempt writing more in the Sonnet style! Ty for commenting Tom!

Hey Crystol, nice sonnet.. I posted two today and written a few recently.. It is a form, I find quite quick to write.. It beautifully captures the essence of Spring, painting vivid images of renewal and rebirth. The personification of the sun as 'weird light' adds an intriguing layer to the atmosphere, reflecting your contemplative mood as you observe nature's awakening. The imagery of green sprouts pushing through frozen ground symbolizes resilience and the unstoppable force of life.
