Winter Sonnet

Murmuring hollow wind of north
cross across this field of yours
through the winter scene be seen
promising soon yon fields of green
for snow now cast scenery white
snow fairies have played the while
casting about their sortilege right
to bring forth these guileless smiles
cumbrous laden each barren branch
with cleansing crystals of frozen tear
so there in the midst one stands staunch
as if frozen with mercurial fear
but break in winter's wind will cease
and with the spring, again, to breathe

01.27.01



Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

A breath of spring
in sonnet song~
Come now spring

That's a beautiful word picture scene you have painted Karilea! As usual it's up to the high quality standards that I have come to realize that I'm going to read when I read done of your poetic works....ethome

Kari dear heart didn't I say you really suited sonnets, absolutely wonderful. Do I love this, yes I do, as you knew I would.
Utterly fabulous. And that is as much as a critique I can give. (If it's not broken don't fix it, and it's definitely not broken)
Thank you for another gem love
Take care love as always

Thank you my friends....although I've been told of special rules to follow in sonnets, so please, disregard the word "sonnet" and continue to enjoy as a poem, and wait...just wait...I'll get the hang of a true sonnet yet...for I am no quitter!...

Sonnet or no Sonnet....this poem paints a beautiful picture. Sometimes there are much more important things than sticking to rigid guidelines.
