 As vernal coverlet seals winter's snow, From nimbus urn, Aquarian heart so sleight Decants time's cleansing waterfalls below In pure ablution of past season's blight. Remanding discord and consouling strife, This host befalls renewed vivacity ~ Once sallow hearts now carpet verdant life, With resurrected faith that we may see Effluent love. Spring nascency's begun, Anointing solar rays' descent on rills Of rainbows hues ~ reflecting golden sun In bounteous eyes of springing daffodils. Enlightened by a sapient sun above, Inspired by Ablutions' flowing love. |

Nan, I just love your sonnets. I think I need to read this one a few times to absorb it fully. Parker |

"Enlightened by a sapient sun above Inspired by Ablutions' flowing love" ==================================== Wow! Nan, I've said it before, I'll say it again -you are the queen of sonnets! Yet again, I stand in awe of your talent to pen perfect sonnets. This was gorgeous in flow, imagery, symbolism, rhyme, sentiment and word usage~ Take care, Melissa~ |

As vernal coverlet seals winter's snow, From nimbus urn, Aquarian heart so sleight Decants time's cleansing waterfalls below In pure ablution of past season's blight. =========================== Effluent love. Spring nascency's begun, Anointing solar rays' descent on rills Of rainbows hues ~ reflecting golden sun In bounteous eyes of springing daffodils. Enlightened by a sapient sun above, Inspired by Ablutions' flowing love. ========================== *sitting here with my mouth agape in awe* I swear...my muse feels so inadequate when I read work of this poetic magnitude. I feel like I need to take your class just to be able to reply properly The cadence... the imagery... AWESOME imagery by the way... the poetic phrasing ... and the very impressive unique vocabulary choices. Nan this is such a gifted and graced write. We can learn so much from this level of inspire. oh you speak to me in riddles |

someday - I hope to engage you in conversation - I want to see if you use such words (known but uncommon) - regardless - you fit them perfectly into a paean to spring Sonnet |
