___________________________________________________________________

How wonderful it is to see months flow from winter time even though it be cold - when from the sky comes drifting lovely snow. But drifting next is splendor to behold - I sing to see the blossoming of trees. Sweet showers bring us flowers; the sun’s light is with us longer. How I love spring’s breeze. Next comes Solstice, shortest time of the night. Sun keeps on setting violet or pink. Like spring’s, the summer’s storms refresh me too, but soon enough the sun will quickly sink into dusk. Months get cold. I feel so blue. Pretty snow drifts down. Still I wish for spring, for when this goddess comes, once more I sing.

I'd love to hear you sing. A lively ditty, with the night so short and snow makes the scenery beautiful. But Spring will arrive with warmth and colors.

The vivid imagery and easy rhyme scheme in your sonnets are two of your best qualities, Andrea.

Nicely done, Andrea. Not only did you compose a beautiful 'song,' you did so without a single 'a' in your Sonnet...I especially liked: Sun keeps on setting violet or pink. Spring is my favorite season, next comes fall. I like summer except for August's intense heat here in Texas. Bes wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

Ah you are so good at sonnets sweet andrea, i love the descriptive language used here and the way your rhymes flow! Must have been tough not using words with specific letter? Im not good with sonnets but i might do it to support emile! Best wishes for the contest. Ps, pls check soupmail, the last soupmail.

I need a redo. I need to focus more on spring. My meter is off in some places too. So hard to do it without A.

Indeed, life flows -- even with the snags. Well said.

I did not realize the poem had to be just on spring, but hopefully my making it about all the seasons won't discount me?
