Valsa George Poet Sonnet

Spring Is Not All

Sky is clear blue with bales of cotton cloud
Days mesh well with scenes of vernal beauty
Everywhere one can spot the jaunty crowd
People are busy chasing their duty 

Oh, Spring! You make us blissfully merry
When you fill earth with joyous songs and sound
But you give umpteen reasons to worry
With dust and disease making our hearts pound

Spring is not all of color and beauty
Like all seasons, it has its bane and bliss
Weeding one's garden turns a dull duty
Mosquitoes swarm round with sonorous hiss

Spring! Though you are greeted warm as a king
With wind and sun, sometimes we feel your sting

Stephan McBride February 18, 2023 at 9:14 AM : ). Indeed it reminds one of new life coming to be, but then the allergies, rainy days, starting up the lawn mower hoping it works , removing of the weeds that spring up from no where: ). Grab a hold and cherish each seasons beauty one day at a time

Joseph P. DiMino February 18, 2023 at 8:20 AM The devil puts flies in all of natures beautiful ointments. Someday we will have a paradise here. I keep faith. "Weeding one's garden turns a dull duty Mosquitoes swarm round with sonorous hiss" -- Outstanding imagery!

Vijay Pandit February 18, 2023 at 5:49 AM Lovely ode to spring--despite the unpleasant vibes it brings amid its adorable blooming beauty. Aptly delivered for the contest theme. Best to you, Valsa.
