Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

With Beauty Greater Than a Peacock's Preen

With Beauty Greater Than A Peacock's Preen

Of all the great new dawns, Spring gifts the best
With sunbeams racing to glisten new green.
In all of Nature, she survives each test
With beauty greater than a peacock's preen.
Thy teeming wildlife, most welcomed minions
O' friend, thy gifts sing in so many ways.
With sweet Hope and Truth thy bold companions
From day's promise to final ending rays.
When new grass sings its highest gracing songs
Thy miracle, telling this world to bow.
Thy birth, taught all that all truly belongs
To the whole, future promise and the now.

Of all the great new dawns, Spring takes the cake.
Why not celebrate each, for goodness sake?

Lisa Ricci March 28, 2017 at 7:37 AM Good Morning Robert. Beautiful Sonnet aside, your entry is wonderful. You and your words capture Spring and her meaning perfectly. Spring has such value for all the obvious reasons. Your words leave the reader on a positive and happy note. That is a plus in every way. Well done entirely.
