Sides Coincide

Slotted abruptly into a concept Bold intimation begs he correspond Gypsy psyche brown moth becomes windswept Attempt to bracket him or wander on Waiting with pattern disrupted, fear tinged On crops offering fluffy promises Closing chapter rips lustre from bronze wings Field generosity astonishes Cotton airborne released from spindly twigs Soul exfoliated floats borderless White flight blank wanting absorbs all of his Virgin shirks burden of choice, subordinate Soft vessel travels to land's bitter edge In salt soak Pacific, brief life extends 9th May 2021 Written for Contest: Summer Love Sonnet Sponsor: John Hamilton

So enjoyed reading the mating dance of species - gypsy moths 'windswept' + other creatures of "bronze wings." The final 2 lines are encouraging - species survival. Overall, your postings, Sigrid, encourage multiple, rewarding reads. Be well. Brian
