Happy first day of spring! This is a sonnet that I wrote in 2024. You can find it in the ‘Poetry For Every Occasion’ section, in ‘The Seasons.’

I hope you enjoy, and a blessed first day of spring to you all!

A Sonnet of Spring

Let not the stormy winds detain
the light of Vernal sunrays glow,
Nor let the waking earth sustain
the tears of hoarfrost and snow.

For ever-new the earth shall bud
'neath chill and cloud, in shadows dark,
with purple crown and golden stud,
with melody from tree and lark.

The newborn ground lies yet undressed,
A child a-brim with life's first plea
to spring forth with its wak'ning quest.

Soon frosty, rayless morns shall flee,
and gloaming night, of gloom bereft,
When blooms arrive with fair Spring's theft.
