Notes About The Poem

    

In Tandem

Daffodils crave caresses from the sun, yet April showers must first melt the frost. For Her rain announces Spring has begun; crocus sprout and Winter's covers get tossed. Songbirds start singing on the sunny days of Spring as robin redbreasts build mud nests. And happily bask in the sun's warm rays while priming and preening their feathered chests. Forests of trees deploy emerald leaves; soaking up sunbeams streaming toward Earth. And with each ray a sprouting plant receives; opportunities grow for life and birth. Nothing in Nature is ever random; sunshine and showers arrive in tandem.

I enjoy reading this sonnet, how one line leads to the meter of the next and catches you up. Congratulations on your top win. It is certainly deserving of it.

A wonderful winner, Emile. Truly touching. I especially love the finishing couplet. (Teaching teen-agers, as I did for so many years, I appreciate the PROPER use of the word, 'random.') Kudos! Best wishes, Gershon
