Sandra Haight Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Written, April 8, 2024
For The Premiere Contest, “Sonnet-Lipogram" (no letter A)
Sponsor, Emile

Spring Promise

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!
