Geoffrey Brewer Poet Sonnet

Hazels In Winter

HAZELS in WINTER

While Winter yet prevails scarce changing state
With sun a slanted elevation gleam
Across the land the trees in patience wait
Their preparation moves in ways unseen

Yet Hazel with a prescience made fair
Decks boughs with pendant baubles: pale green bling
Like  jewels of nature dangling in cool air
Precursors to full verdancy of Spring 

Thus each and every species in its way
Enhances with diversity our world
Should wishes for equality hold sway
Conformance would repress, with freedom furled

While more of same will jade the richest yearning
Disparity will keep desire still burning
