The velvet strokes of verdant leaves Caress the face of earth’s offspring As prairie grass its whispers weave And blossoms’ bells their pageants ring. Springtime songs their anthems raise In auspicious harmony divine A lover’s kiss, a soft embrace A poet’s touch in careful rhyme. The gentle blend of weathered souls Belays the splendor of the sounds That beckons players play their roles When solstice blooms and life abounds. Be still, my love, for thee ensues The touch of passions’ fresh milieus |

Sue, thank you…it was fun to write…it sort of came easily…hard to think of as stunning though Noah, yeah, I told myself I wouldn’t write a sonnet for this time of year, so I used tetrameter instead of pentameter and kept the rhyme scheme of a sonnet Ethyl, thank you very kindly…I appreciate that very much ARH, well, if you liked it (you always write such beautiful romantic poetry), I must have done something right…thank you very much Grover, thank you |

Steaven, your words fit so perfectly together like some puzzle made out of the finest hardwoods. Unlike mine, where I usually have to get the scissors out, and hack the words up to fit the spaces... lol Seriously, this was exceptional. And a pleasure to read. |
