For The Premiere Contest, “Sonnet-Lipogram" (no letter A)
Sponsor, Emile

It might begin with the sweet songs of birds when sunrise blooms its glow, seeming divine. We view the month to see those written words; “Spring now begins” confirms our current sign. The resurrection from grim Winter sleep will move full-swing while buds unveil to stir. Soft colors of new willow greens will sweep- blot Winter drudge while brighter views recur. Fresh hope rebirths the life in every soul when Springtime flowers crown the rolling fields. While gushing brooks from melted snow unroll- the feeling of new life within us yields. This mystery of rebirth gifts our Spring; gives promise in new life for everything!

A stunning Lipogram Sonnet Sandra, Sorry I never look at POTD's, but your entry in the contest caught my eye. A beautiful Springtime Sonnet and not an "a" to be seen. Masterful. Really enjoyed it. Made me wish it was Springtime again here in Australia. Best wishes.

Dearest Sandra, your poem beautifully captures the essence of renewal and hope that comes with the changing seasons. I loved how your imagery of birdsong, blooming buds, and gushing brooks evokes a sense of awakening and rejuvenation. It's the endless cycle of life and the promise of new beginnings. This enchanting piece deserves to be POTD, CONGRATS! Blessings, Daniel
