Spring begins February 1st.
The First Saturday of What?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCCXXXI)
Catch morning ere the sun rise, like t'avail,
Half wond'ring if t'wont, til I'm blinded hence
And pull the visor down, that eye's warmth thence
Too much, til I must crack the windows, frail
As "freezing" temps, where by late morn's detail
I open them by half and, how songs fence
The thought of yonder with sweet cheer for sense,
Lawns greening since the snow upon Spring's trail.
If trees look naked, that's a ruse as t'were,
Which shall be shown in fewer days 'neath blue
Heavns nary cloud seems haunts 'cept in a tour
Of East or West rim of the day. Buds cue
On empty boughs and limbs, sheer life astir
More boldly now. Oh LORD, let us praise You.

Aha! Jackpot!
But Spring Is Charming Halfway Through
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCCXXXII)
Oh me! Where naught 'cept wildlife stir 'neath dense
Blue heavns the clouds skirt or but vaguely trail
Through, this being stranded on the clock's detail
Half seems not so bad after all fr'intents;
The world mine as it were in half a sense,
I s'pose that's part of what I cherish, frail
As aught 'scuse, 'bout this old profession they'll
Assure you fewer now respect. Pretense?
Mixt salad in a trice when you've in poor
Reply no kitchen or e'en bowl, nor too,
Utensils for the same's a snap as t'were
With paring knife and ziploc--I ne'er knew
Til now. The golden light with chill in tour
To balance that, oh LORD, how I'd thank You.
22Mar25b
I swear it does...
Hark, For Chartreuse Now Beckons
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCCXXXIII)
Dad said "you never cry," that one detail
Why I am sniffling now for others, sense
Awakened in their grief and suff'ring, whence
[Where no one's watching] let me now avail
Myself of tears, to break down lacking bail
'Fore others since I don't like how fr'intents
They talk or act. 'Fore Dad I'd no defense
Nor answer. How birds sing like joy would hail.
Now early ev'ning 'gins to draw as t'were
Grey shadows up to haunt the tender view,
How calm tis! Songs likeas we love astir
On ev'ry side, the golden light in blue
Heavns seeming half more fragile, LORD in Your
Light we see light, all that we have of You.

Did you write all of this?
But of course. I'm a classic sonneteer, having entered my present career in this genre initially when I was only 19.5 years old (1994) and beginning in earnest 16 years later, sonneteering daily since a year-long challenge in 2011 gave me the impetus to sonneteer daily ever since. Naturally at that rate I\'ve written at least 9k by now. Why do you ask?
So many good words with a T tis, thee, thrice, twas. till on and on but all graded as inferior in modern poetry. Infuriating to the poet. Loved the writes.
Trice really is a fun word and, lo!—what's this—not once, twice...but trice sonneted and having trice as much fun as a result! Loved these, my friend! 🌹👏
Thank you so very, very much dear friend!
You are most welcome, Missy!
Nowt wrong with trice especially when you get trice sonnet's to read and get trice the enjoyment
Aww, you're too kind! Thank you so very, very much!!
You are very welcome
Yes, trice rhyme with rice. But how to make those two lines of a poem, I don't know! Maybe: 'I ate rice; yes, I ate it trice!'
None of you looked it up, apparently. It doesn't mean 3x.... but its use in the phrase "in a trice" lends meaning. Thank you for your fun comment, dear Sir.
Wow! So ... You just use so many difficult words showing how talented you actually are ! Since I'm from Greece it took me some time to understand everything and yet I'm still struggling! You are truly such an inspiration
I wish I could one day write like that
Thanks. Have a lovely day!
Beautiful work.
Thanks.
Some cracking pieces, as always, Missy. Nice done.
Thank you so very much, Tom!
