Urban Sonnet
Invented by: Laura Loo. Sonnet form, with 10 syllables per line and a rhyme scheme of: ABABBB- CDCDDD- EFEFFF-GG
A December sun sends splendiferous rays
to illuminate Dawn's Halo of light.
And its bright beams polish the dullest days,
dissolving darkness imposed by the night.
Shadows cannot appease Sol's appetite,
and He rises to consume night; outright.
Ice crystals sparkle, and snowflakes glisten
as sunlight puts Winter's white on display.
And Dawn's silence compels you to listen
for the faintest sounds that waken the day.
Winter flurries convince children to play
inside with snowmen of paper-mâché.
Icicles hang from the eves and the trees,
and the air feels frigid, fresh, crisp, and clean.
You can walk on water when rivers freeze;
while white overshadows everything green.
The sun sparkles like a yellow citrine
imbuing the scene with a golden sheen.
Nature designed this Winter Wonderland,
and like Spring, Summer, and Fall; it is grand.
