Nette Onclaud Poet Couplet

Waiting For Spring

Dusk freezes where tinsels of gold
Spill through the air as morns unfold...
Of late, in opal sheen, dawn glides
As hoar-frost whirls through  the hillsides,

Revealing leaves that plunge nearby ,
Like graying pearls beneath the sky
Draped by winter in full upswing--
Till blossoms peep to  welcome spring
When rosy hues climb on  my gate 
To bear garlands, yet I must wait 
Until the sun shines down to warm 
Each perfumed spray...  no flakes must harm:

Their glossed petals of bridal white 
And dewy pink of such delight;
Enhances May's advent, how sheer 
This floral birth... tenderly dear!

Russell Sivey October 14, 2017 at 1:33 AM This is such a fabulous and wondrous write my friend! I just love the way you slid in there an opal sheen, and hoar-frost, what a specific feel and description! I surely enjoyed reading your illustrious piece this morning! It is rather a glorious poem, full of hope for a warmer season, me, I'm waiting for Autumn, it's here but the weather doesn't seem to know it yet! I hate the higher temps, especially in my season, Autumn! What a special write you have written Nette, Great Work!!

Vijay Pandit October 13, 2017 at 6:27 PM Very well written rhyme--a scenic imagery of the season awaiting the arrival of Spring--best for a win, nette!

Leon Datu October 13, 2017 at 2:53 PM Right you are! Is there a way to extend autumn, have a month of winter, then get right into a longer spring? I am drawn to your captive language , so eloquent!
