Kim Rodrigues Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Violets In Spring

VIOLETS IN SPRING

Violets in funereal sleep,
bonnie beneath Winter’s crust.
Breathless debutantes,
preparatory young virgins,
putting on pretty purple petals.

Virtuous violets gracefully glide
through the rich soil,
burgeoning intoxication,
the world’s first tantalizing taste
of their demure debutante smiles.

Chris Green April 3, 2017 at 12:05 PM Spring is just about to bloom all over the place, well, except the northeast I hear, but still it won't be long. Nicely done Kim. Kim Rodrigues April 3, 2017 at 12:28 PM Thank you, Chris! I just came back from Chicago and the birdsong in my ears was so lovely. Spring is a delight!
