Sunrise Sonnet

A bird sings an ode to twilight Composed just for those purple skies Tomorrow when dawn breaks light It will sing a sonnet to sunrise On summer days when flowers gently sway in the dell Clouds float by in a periwinkle sky As summer cast an enchanting spell While a bird sings a song for a butterfly 2-8-2024

I feel like ' a butterfly, ' while ' clouds float by in a periwinkle sky, ' There's something magical about such a moment. Your thoughts are so beautiful and dreamy. I'm ready for Summer's sweet serenade. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy

Loved the imagery in your poem as well as the notion of birds singing sonnets...so imaginative and enchanting. Perhaps that's what the birds are doing outside my office window...I think they're just happy that today's a sunny and warm day. :-) A delightful read! Have a great evening, Sara

This is a non-traditional sonnet, but for its succinctness and imagery, I love it

This is just lovely and casts an enchanting spell in your wonderfully chosen words and images. Thank you for these peaceful moments to revel in beauty. If this is for a contest, best wishes.
