Joseph May Poet Sonnet

A Snowdrop

Snowdrops falling into bloom, there's no need for mittens
 Ladybugs on daisies, as playful as kittens
 Lilacs and lilies awaken in spring
And dance to the melody of birds as they sing

 Fragrance of  brightly  colored hyacinths
 Leaves an aromatic imprint
The royal flight of the butterfly king
 Regally  floating on the winds of spring
  

 A bevy of daffodils adorned in golden sashes
 And tulips abound with colorful flashes
 Hummingbirds hover for the nectar that brings
 The sweet flavors of a beautiful spring

 The rose will impose with beauty untold
 And  buttercups will glow in sunbeams of gold
