Green Nights of Hope

Springy my thoughts of bunny hops, wiggles of sunflowers in zephyr sweep. The seeds, of dust to dust, burst forth in strong giggles. The progeny of life does pluck grief’s weeds. Suppose, the sun didn’t shine on yellow highs, The pierce of thorns didn’t bleed for our rebirth. The seed just burns…no bonny buds…the sighs of wings, lifting the rock, thus stopped…no worth. But, flowers bloom in living hues, refuse to die without one child. Bunnies succeed to sire in multiples; of pinks, of blues. Sunrise lifted the Son, scattered the seed. Green nights of hope, just sleep, with sun geared up. Newborns of Spring wriggling whilst we tear up.

such a vibrant and inspirational poem. I appreciate the spiritual overtones in" Sunrise lifted the Son, scattering the seed. I loved this line at the beginning of the poem: The progeny of life does pluck grief’s weeds. Awesome creation for the contest not using 'a's" Best wishes in the contest, hugs, Sara

Theres a beautiful and very captivating cadence to your lines so rhythmic and well woven with descriptive diction! So many lines stood out for me but the most that hit me was “ Suppose, the sun didn’t shine on yellow highs, The pierce of thorns didn’t bleed for our rebirth. The seed just burns…no bonny buds…the sighs” how powerful and soulfully moving is that! Made me think and feel so much! Pleasure reading your excellent sonnet. Sending you light always

Is this for the sonnet lipogram contest? You dd really well not to use the letter 'a'.. that is quite difficult and your poem flows and rhymes really well with lovely spring imagery...
