the light chiffon veneers of winter's face slow-deliquesce as rangy shadows wane soft gossamer as whitened Guipure lace melts running to the rills with April's rain a dulcet strain of spring tide on the wing each songbird chants a serenade to woo the passions that a warmer air can bring and nature's resurrection thru-and-thru a world of monochrome now comes alive so blossoming with promise and with life the world of bursting color now to thrive all water, land and air with movement rife now mystery and romance start their call for spring is summer's harbinger ... of all. ~ 5th Place ~ in the "April 2019 Premiere 6, Up To A Max Of 14 Lines" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Spring Sonnet" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Judge & Sponsor. ~ 4th Place ~ in the "Spring Is In The Air" Poetry Contest, Emile Pinet, Judge & Sponsor.

Your imagery and metaphoric approach should wow Emile; he loves this kind of stuff, as he writes like this also. It feels like it came from an old master's page.
