It's harvest time again
Cape Cod Cranberry Sonnet

The waves roll on and gulls above soar high,
Lone foghorns chanting Cape Cod's solitude.
The dunes at rest beneath the autumn sky
Envelop peaceful beaches once imbued.
Bright foliage adorns the countryside,
Surrounding sundried bogs of cranberries.
This summer tourists' verdant welcome tide
Now boasts majestic hues of burgundies.
Synthetic lakes spew forth from each bog's moat
Releasing berries for the harvest day,
And bouyant crimson carpets lie afloat
In just abeyance being scooped away
To conjure up a sauce with Ocean Spray,
And have with turkey for Thanksgiving Day.

A deal's a deal - Thank you all for kindly giving me a click a day - just one (more than that will nullify the first)

The sonnet is ageless, and this is a tremendous example. My hat's off.
It also has a personal touch for me, in the mentioning of Cape Cod. Never had the pleasure of going there, but it brings back memories of an old, black-and-white film, that I watch at least once a year: A Portrait Of Jennie. Much darker images of The Cape than you so eloquently describe, but I thank you for a wonderful poem.
