Kim Rodrigues Poet Sonnet

Green Nights of Hope

Springy my thoughts of bunny hops, wiggles
of sunflowers in zephyr sweep. The seeds,
of dust to dust, burst forth in strong giggles.
The progeny of life does pluck grief’s weeds.

Suppose, the sun didn’t shine on yellow highs,
The pierce of thorns didn’t bleed for our rebirth.
The seed just burns…no bonny buds…the sighs
of wings, lifting the rock, thus stopped…no worth.

But, flowers bloom in living hues, refuse
to die without one child. Bunnies succeed
to sire in multiples; of pinks, of blues.
Sunrise lifted the Son, scattered the seed.

Green nights of hope, just sleep, with sun geared up.
Newborns of Spring wriggling whilst we tear up.

Ink Empress May 4, 2024 at 11:13 AM Theres a beautiful and very captivating cadence to your lines so rhythmic and well woven with descriptive diction! So many lines stood out for me but the most that hit me was “ Suppose, the sun didn’t shine on yellow highs, The pierce of thorns didn’t bleed for our rebirth. The seed just burns…no bonny buds…the sighs” how powerful and soulfully moving is that! Made me think and feel so much! Pleasure reading your excellent sonnet. Sending you light always Kim Rodrigues May 4, 2024 at 4:05 PM Thank you, my friend! I appreciate your comment!
