Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Woodland Hideaway

Tranquility’s quintessence here resides
amidst the wild flowers’ fragrant scent.
And watching us, a timid rabbit hides
behind those shrubs where we have pitched the tent.

The streams of light from splendid sun we see
are gilded tendrils falling, cutting through
sweet smelling needles on each verdant tree.
We breathe in pine while relishing this view.

Suddenly - the warbling of a bird
dulcetly disrupts the quietude.
The sound is not like one I’ve ever heard.
Mellifluous, it does not break the mood.

We linger in this woodland hideaway-
blissful- as dusk swallows up the day.


Sonnet Form with rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg

John Watt August 14, 2020 at 8:33 PM Another gorgeous sonnet of beautifully depicted nature, this time with trees, birds, and a timid rabbit. I love it - so blissful! (p.s. another example of those early days where you counted wild as two syllables)
