Linda Alice Fowler Poet Sonnet

Resounding Spring

Cool comforts from the moon shining in Spring
diverge from coming Summer's scorching sun.
Sweet honeysuckle lifts its trumpet string
to set swift tempo for the Springtime fun.

The peonies follow in their due time,
shout scented secrets to boisterous birds.
Hornets send buzzing timbre to sublime,
heights of rowdy rhythm in unspoken words.

Loud melodies of frogs bide time with drums
in gurgling creek beds or towering trees.
The bursting bomb of bleeding redbuds comes
to speckle color through sonorous breeze.

Spring buzzes, bleeds, gurgles, or bursts out loud
through its short months, the frenzied, shouting crowd.

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 10, 2024 at 10:17 AM Dear Linda, your poetic depiction of spring's symphony is captivating. I loved the contrasting elements, from the moon's cool comfort to the scorching sun, that evoke the season's essence. The imagery of honeysuckle trumpets and peonies whispering secrets adds depth to the scene. Your words are filled with the lively energy of spring, a cacophony of nature's melodies. - Blessings, Daniel Linda Alice Fowler April 11, 2024 at 6:36 AM Many thanks Daniel.

Thank you Jan. I appreciate your comments and support so much. The fav is a special bonus. I'm honored. The frogs sing loudly from the creek behind the house. I dug up a toad the other day while planting lettuce. He didn't sing though. He was mostly annoyed LOL
