poem written for Emile Pinet's Sonnet-Lipogram Contest 4/5/2024

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The golden pixie’s honeyed voice renews Spring’s fresh blooms join birds’ melodious song When springtime melts lingering winter blues In soft goodbye song sung upon winds strong. Smell of flowers, trees budding getting green Sun shines bright, the sky blue like cornflower Buzz of honeycombs glisten, golden sheen Imbued with the sun’s glorious power. Butterflies flutter, from their wings no sound In new tree limbs, blue bird builds nesting spot Below, field of flowers cover the ground Mother bird feeds chicks from her insect pot. Let us lift our voices, let our souls sing Rejoice in new spring, birth of everything.

What a beautiful painting of spring, Sara! The colors are so vibrant, love the "cornflower" sky! Not only do I see a picture of spring unfolding its wings but I hear its song through your lovely images. Not easy leaving out the "a" - ahh? Good work! Best wishes for the contest. Blessings of Alleluia to you!

Oh, Dear Sara, what a captivating welcome to the season! With its enchanting allure, it beckons us near. The air is filled with a sense of anticipation, As nature's beauty begins to appear. The vibrant colors of autumn's embrace, Paint the world in hues so rich and warm. Leaves dance and twirl in a graceful ballet, Creating a scene that, how you weave a tapestry of words, A poetic masterpiece, like singing birds. You paint a picture, vivid and true, Capturing its essence, in shades of blue.

thank you, Jay...getting rid of those a's was a challenge...didn't realize they're in most every words. I loved the challenge, though. Have a blessed evening, Sara

Dear Sara, What a mesmerizing celebration of the season's arrival! You capture its essence with vivid imagery and lyrical grace. Your words are an amazing picture of nature's rejuvenation, from the golden hues of the pixie's voice to the vibrant blooms and melodic birdsong. I loved the sensory details you created, from the scent of flowers to the buzzing of honeycombs, immersing me in the beauty and vitality of spring. Absolutely lovely! - Blessings, Daniel

thank you for your visit, Tom. Yes, spring's been a long time coming. Not confident my contest entry. Writing a sonnet about spring is one thing; eliminating the a's has been a challenge. We shall see, enjoy your day, Sara
