Word Sonnets on spring

Seymour Mayne

 

Spring Showers

Let
the
showers
moisten
the
wires,
wet
the
messages
whetted
with
want
and
desire.

 

Thaw

What
is
the
shade
of
thaw?
Grey,
with
a
hint
of
rising
March
light.

 

By the Bay Window

Even
the
cat
can
meditate
on
the
absurdity
of
a
heavy
snowfall
in
April.

 

Welcoming the Vernal Equinox

Who
can
believe
that
winter
will
soon
be
officially
over
without
legislation
from
Parliament!

 

Accents
For S. Huynh

Rain
is
the
tongue
of
resurrection,
its
myriad
accents
rousing
roots,
bulbs
and
seeds.

 

Day
For Adam Fuerstenberg

Blessed
is
the
light
that
returns,
renewing
the
day
different
from
all
other
days.
