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 Spring Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton 3-8-2019
