Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Sonnet

Blossoms and Bubbles

Effervescent laughter blows over vales
then falls soft to glaze new blooms posed genteel.
Gracious stems lift smiles to foamed skies surreal,
riding on sunrays of shimmery sails.

Splendid dreams bubble up from blossoms bright,
a sparkling scene as petals parade ‘round.
Cushioned on spring breeze, love waits to be found;
warm thoughts of you fly then burst in midflight.

Light bubbles join hands to soar through puffed clouds
winking at flowers in latest spring styles.
Their joy christens lands once silent for miles;
orbs popping with flair in breath’s blooming shrouds.

Laughter lifts skyward, an aerated tale,
of bubbles blown high above blooming vale.

3/25/15 for Olive's Blossoms and Bubbles Contest

Andrea Dietrich April 12, 2015 at 10:57 PM very very nice one, Rhonda. I see how it took first place. Congrats. Ummm, that Hairy Fairy poem? It took me a good five hours. Two to research all homophones and line up rhyming ones. Two to assemble the poem and an hour to check and recheck. I still am not sure i got it all down. And after all that, I probably won't win. Soupmail.
