Spring Is Not All

I'm ready to turn over a new leaf But have found the day is too windy now Spring you are a motivational thief Spurring me on just to then disallow Every hope is refreshed, revived, renewed Bulbs flowering through covered frosty ground You meant to let me down I now conclude Your manipulation is quite profound All the fresh and bright, light and airy ways For April your showers shut down my plans Thinking, feeling these will be brighter days Leading me to more melancholy lands Spring is false hope, please don't lead me astray I'd rather save hopes for another day

Thank you Joseph, I'm not confident with my sonnets but perhaps I'll keep trying. I appreciate your kind words and placement

"Spring is false hope, please don't lead me astray I'd rather save hopes for another day" - the other side of Spring is very beautifully brought out. Congratulations!
