Gentle Wind Sonnet

Gentle Wind Sonnet East wind blew this far south today gusts that soothed my weary soul There at my sweet spot on the bay sitting there in tree filled knoll Songbirds singing to Spring's step a melody of sun's splashing light Beauty so fantastic I openly wept dreading days ending into the night Blossoms giving that fragrant smell jostling branches right in tune As if the earth rejoices to tell fair weather right on into mid-June Wind gusts that eased my old pains gentle ones bringing no hard rains!

LOL Robert, another trait of Canadians is we brag and exaggerate alot!! At least we could sit back and brag of those days!!!

Ahhh , that remark brought back days of my youth. Back when I could really tie on on! LOL If only were I able to do that again I 'd be pleased as punch because my health would have been restored..

Thank you my friend. The beauty is in the descriptive lines on Nature. My sweet spot is so like a great masterpiece. And it is simply because it came from the hand of God! I go there and worries seem to melt away...

Very happy to have done so my friend.. Nature soothes and poetry inspires. I read the fine poems of poets such as yourself and others here to both inspire and comfort me as I travel thru life.. I write to try to give back that to others...
