Now I'm on the fence...do I prefer Spring or Autumn?
Too Good To Be Is Verily True
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMXCVIII)
I never knew how much I missed fr'intents
These hours, Spring's tender light on lea and dale
Half peeking in twixt blinds likeas t'avail
My soul, the notice sans aught voice defense
For long since lost days with a twinkling sense
Of hope as birdsongs in the night would hail
The first hints of lo, dawn, til aught detail
Calls unto me of life and hope from hence.
Oh! How could I have been so blind ere? Were
Such notes not ever thus afoot all through
The years? The eye of heavn changed, all astir
On ev'ry side with songs, say we ne'er knew?!
For it has allus been the case. Twas poor
To not see, yet oh LORD, all is of You.

...turns out she didn't block me, only needed some space.
Is't How the Cookie Crumbles, Eh?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCXIX)
We've not changed, so much as the season's trail
Could half suggest. Yet what? For all tis thence
Foresworn? Erst wont to come oer, I can't hence,
Nor thus persuade her face to face t'avail
Us of the friendship seemed we'd both own. Frail
As distance and our ways, I've no defense,
And she knows that, til all becomes pretense
Or owns an end since lo, to do lacks bail.
Ah, tender hours! Spring tricks the days in tour
Out with soft light as songs' detail aught blue
Skies with pure hope, til likeas Death is fer
All that put off for life as aught renew,
So shall we look ahead as joys bestir,
If only I might see, oh LORD, to You.

- Comment from author about the poem: I'm such a vehement personality in contrast to her milder, what's left to add when we're on the phone daily, lamenting the loss of that ability to have slumber parties every weekend. Enjoy?

Nice sonnets as usual, I think they might be petrarchan but I'm no expert I apologise if I am mistaken.
Excepting .01%, my sonnets are Petrarchan. Thank you for your comment.
Another fun read well expressed in poetic form
Excellent
