Charles Messina Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

Those Sweet Dulcet Sounds

Those sweet DULCET sounds of newly born leaves 
Fluttering off branches of old oak trees 
Nests made from fabric of LACE and CHIFFON 
First flights from chicks as they try to hold on
 
Butterflies of color fly through the air 
Old people rocking outside in their chair 
RESURRECTION of springtime, life...newborns 
New trees with flowers, from tiny acorns
 
Wild rivers rage high from cold melted snow
Fish jumping out where the water is low 
Boys with their nets on the banks where they fished 
Girls look at stars, at the ones...when they wished
 
A last cold chill, Old Man Winter's...good-bye 
Then spring shows her face...as the sun sits high
