March Goosebumps

See how the wind's of March bluster, torment; they break boughs and chase the fallen leaves. Oh hear, the frozen garden bed's lament, as twigs across the way skate 'cross the pond. And, do you feel the goosebumps through your sleeves and the chill of daffodil as it responds? The buds which bend, wind burnt, forlorn, attend The wild wolf wind nips at spring's fragile tips of infant green and willows which transcend as they with golden blossoms grow rows high. See the forsythia limbs, they bend and whip but soon they'll dance beneath a clear blue sky See how the wind's of March bluster, torment, the buds which bend, wind burnt, forlorn attend.

Debbie, It's not that i couldn't rhyme it, but did not choose to bc it was not intended to be a sonnet in the first place. When finished, i tried putting approx 10 syllables per line and it turned out to be having 14 lines with some minor modifications. So I named it sonnet. !!

For you Debbie, March brushes past us, in its blustery haste / And we, who stood where Winters chill once laid waste / Watch in awe, the breath of Spring ignite the earth / We know from every death, there is rebirth.

debs, you have grown incredibly since I first met you when you told me you did not understand metrical poetry. OMG. This is a wonderful sonnet. You used great vocabulary and everything is so sonnet like!!

Thank you Andie though I'm sure the meter isn't perfect it does sing nicely.

Looks like March is going out as a lion the way the weather is in my area. As always, this piece is nicely written with good descriptiveness and rhyming.

I Love The Symbolism Perhaps And Surely The Metaphors She Seems To Me ? We Do See The Blue Skies Their Sunshine; Past These Icicle Tears Time's Season She Sleeps...Gentle The Kiss Upon Her Rose Bud Lips Awaken, My Love....I Am Quickly Learning How Far Reaching Another's Verse Can Be: Deep, Inside Of Thee...Euphoric, And I Again Shall Favour, Two Beautiful Jewels....Yours Truly, Jeremy

you made this look easy; I posted my first cornish sonnet a little while ago...I got it done but didn't feel about it like I do a sonnet, the pace seem quite different...
