Constance La France Poet Sonnet

'come, Come Sweet Seasons'

I want this cold Winter to be over-
longing to hear all the little birds sing;
just love beautiful Spring with skies azure,
I wish to be in forests green ambling;
and dipping my toes in a stream babbling,
and picking the wild flowers unfolding.

Over the meadows wild the north winds fly-
making all the small white daisies tremble,
Summer is knocking-  Spring I say goodbye;
I do enjoy hot steamy days blissful,
and bright red roses hanging so graceful;
and butterflies in my garden jungle. 

All the trees lay down their emerald gowns-
there is a great whirling of gold and red,
all the Fall leaves are now crinkled browns;
migrating birds fly high with their wings spread,
and rain is falling on my garden dead;
and Winter is coming soon-  that I dread.

How pretty the first filigree snowflakes,
soon, I will be making Christmas fruitcakes!

Robert Lindley February 8, 2019 at 6:50 PM My dear friend, I find this absolutely wonderful. I may study urban sonnets a bit and then write one. Love the flow, beauty and subject of this fine gem!!! A fav..

DM Babbit February 7, 2019 at 1:10 PM Beautiful I love fruitcake and the sweet seasons of life. Constance La France February 8, 2019 at 8:01 AM DM, thanks for visiting my poem, my grandma used to make her own fruitcake and I recall it was a long and complicated recipe which involved a lot of dark rum !

Silent One February 7, 2019 at 5:32 AM Wow, this is brilliant... Love someo f hte lines and the descriptions.. IF this does not finish first, I will be shocked!!!! I have not seen an urban sonnet before.. I wonder if it might be an idea to invent a rural one :) Constance La France February 7, 2019 at 8:40 AM Silent, thanks for visiting and for the lovely comment. It was Laura Loo who presented the Urban Sonnet in one of her contests and I think others have too, and I have embraced it because it is really a lovely option to a regular sonnet. I like your idea !
