Line Gauthier Poet Sonnet

All Eyes On Rio De Janeiro

How much longer will spiteful winter squalls
Linger with frosty grip and icy snow
Let's not delay lest tragedy befalls
Best head out to Rio de Janeiro 

We could outsmart the frigid calendar
Ignore its wintry cold hypnotic chants
Not to steal the yearly drumroll's thunder
But mostly to avoid the neighbor's rants

A trip down south is the perfect escape 
To while away winter in warmer climes
Pack your suitcase and just throw on a cape
Come back when spring's about to ring the chimes

See Nature's resurrection in full grace
Spurt colorful dulcet chiffon and lace
