Kim Rodrigues Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Rebirth

This year’s been so long. So long to Winter!
With blinding shaft and bright bleeding of sun,
the limbs of trees, like flames, trust their tinter.
Unfurl the soulful buds, ye Holy One!

The soak of pomp at ground level unfurls.
Angelic, sonorous romance of Spring.
See tea cups and saucers — bouquets uncurl.
Astir your eyes to the rebirth God brings.

True garden grows within — reds, purples, blues.
The rose, tulips, and wildflowers — His gifts.
Forsake not light of brightest scent and hue.
Lean in, darlings, and pluck the sweetest lift.

To live is Christ! Adoration of life!
So friends, spur away Winter and its strife.

Victor Buhagiar March 6, 2021 at 8:37 AM But winter is as necessary as summer. Hopefully winter needs to be short. Kim Rodrigues March 6, 2021 at 8:41 AM Victor, did you get the gist of the whole poem! Really the first line relates more to the pandemic...that’s why this “year’s” been so long. This poem speaks of rebirth. God bless ya.
