Connie Marcum Wong Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Winsome Wisteria Sonnet

Winsome Wisteria Sonnet

Eden, open your ardent arms to grace 
Wisteria's soft lilac petaled blooms 
Draped stunningly about Spring’s sunny face 
In softest shades of lavender like plumes. 
Your aroma wafts heady in the breeze 
When graceful racemes descend from above. 
Divine as the frilling flowering trees 
Your stunning sight captures my heart with love. 
Goddess Venus must surely be aware 
Of the glorious sight that you bestow 
Like dainty dangling ringlets in Spring’s hair 
As zephyrs sprinkle your petals below. 

I am profoundly moved by your presence 
And tranquilly transported with pleasance.
