Notes About The Poem
*English Sonnet and Lipogram (excluding the letter "A")*

Light Is Life

Light Is Life


The sun looks different when Spring is here
Lining up through the sky to my window
Eerie sometimes, or confusing, I peer
This weird light shines it's bright Life giving glow. 

First, the green sprouts of the yellow flower
Poking up through frozen ground into light
Witnessing this Springs refreshing power
I observe living things give birth with fight

Tiny seeds of promise not forgotten
In wombs of soil or gentle, fertile flesh
Time ensues to bring us the begotten
Together Life, hope, love will mix, will mesh. 

The thirst for life, the hunger, must be there
For Spring is light, light is Life, everywhere.

Hey Crystol, nice sonnet.. I posted two today and written a few recently.. It is a form, I find quite quick to write.. It beautifully captures the essence of Spring, painting vivid images of renewal and rebirth. The personification of the sun as 'weird light' adds an intriguing layer to the atmosphere, reflecting your contemplative mood as you observe nature's awakening. The imagery of green sprouts pushing through frozen ground symbolizes resilience and the unstoppable force of life.
