Spring

The sunshine turns to honey in the spring to drizzle golden syrup on the trees. In yellow sheen it blesses everything, so fuzzy bees brush pollen on their knees. The bees keep bumbling into blossom rooms. Their noise of humming buzzing fills my mind to mix mesmeric songs with cherry blooms: the sweetest sense of springtime love defined. Suppose the stretching greens beside the pinks forever kept unfurling buds beyond. The countryside would fill with living links; in softness, curling tendrils form their bond. I hope the joy of promise in this light will bring you comfort when it is the night.

Lovely, image-laden sonnet, Jeannette. Spring is such a wonderful time of year -- 'til the locusts show up, anyway. Keep smiling, Gershon

your poem was filled with energy derived from your descriptive words. I liked these alliterative words: The bees keep bumbling into blossom rooms. Your poem was a joy to read, Jeanette! Have a splendid Thursday, hugs, Sara
