Sotto Poet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Exquisite Komorebi

Written: October 30, 2023,
                   ______________________________________

When the sunlight rays dawning to decay
Within the scenic shade of the tall trees,
Foster felicity flows forth and fray,
Dappling the vista with a subtle breeze
Casting twirling shades in the woodland floor.
Vintage music stirs up forlorn desire,
A ceaseless mixture of light and leaves tore
Pith pearl persuasive pontoon painted pyre
Consume the elixir of leaves and beams
Light and bush rattles pulchrify the earth
Soak in the luscious komorebi gleams,
Ineffable grace, a trice of high worth
           Light and leaves exudate a calm aura
           Time seems to pose in gossamer flora...
