Arrias Sends: A Sonnet for Spring
The great gray monsters now covered in red,
A million little buds on every tree,
For in an instant glum winter has fled,
Now the world is renewed for all to see.
Suddenly a riot of color thrills,
Whites, brilliant reds, and there a neon pink,
Cherry trees, dogwoods and yellow daffodils,
The mind spins! Of sweet spring let us all drink!
Gorgeous forsythia, bright as the sun,
A saucer magnolia smells so sweet,
But that’s not all, for Spring has just begun!
A million blossoms – for the senses a treat!
Across the Dismal Swamp, sweet spring has sprung,
Glorious Spring! The world once again young…
