The chartreuse pearls hung on the pregnant vine
as whispered jade of leaves in autumn breeze.
The necklaces of trellis did entwine
like clefs of absinthe notes in verdant keys.

Limes envied grapes reflecting fervent sun,
bright clusters for musicians then to splay
in shamrock fields with fables to be spun
of emeralds and pears in harvest play.

Cerulean spread 'cross effulgent sky
when came the time for plucking of the harp.
Lithe fingers did each picker then apply
and place with grace refrains upon the tarp.

In peridot the countryside rejoiced
while to reprise fruition gave a voice.

Great imagery in your description of the grape harvest, Dale! Enjoyed the wonderful colors, the musical references, and the inner rhyme in line 12. Beautiful sonnet!

This is SO beautiful, Dale. I kept clicking on poems that I already read until I came to this one. One of your loveliest I had not yet seen for some reason . I recognize the contest and I don't know what your placement was, but congrats. In my opinion, it should have been in top three, and if it was, then justice was done!!
