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.

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

I felt such energy and vibrancy in your Sonnet. Delight imagery made your poem captivating and a joy to read. I especially liked alliteration: The bursting bomb of bleeding redbuds comes to speckle color through sonorous breeze Well done, Linda. I struggle with writing Sonnets but you seem to have a real skill at doing so. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

I am pleased that you found energy and vibrancy here Sara. I wanted to capture the busy life during Springtime. Each season has its own energy. Thank you for pointing out the redbud line...I am rather partial to that one too. ;) Make it a delightful evening! hugs to you and Bill, Linda

You are the best! 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
