An April Sonnet
I’ve gone outside to sit nearby my tree,
which bloomed this April, and on the first day!
With pen in hand (the good old-fashioned way)
I pause – to let impressions come to me.
More than a blushing willow do I see.
The thing most striking is that winter’s grey
has vanished! In its place, a vast array
of nature’s jade gives spring green majesty!
The dingy cloak of winter now is gone.
My eyes adore the jewelry of spring -
the leaves and grass of emerald and on
my pretty tree, in sunlight glittering -
those rose quartz gems! Right now above my lawn,
from beaded boughs, a bird begins to sing!
