Just Look for caitbabie

sonnet in Iambic tetrameter

 

 

 

Just Look

 

The Daffodils in massed array

their yellow trumpets on display

 are flaunting beauty shamelessly

. They see no need for modesty.

Their growing season all too brief.

 ‘Till time the ever present thief.

Robs them of their vitality

 a crime of opportunity.

The early springtime beauty show

of yellow blooms which freely grow

 along the verge of every road.

Natural beauty a la mode.

Some pass them by unseeingly.

For them I have no sympathy.

What a beautiful tribute to a lovely young lady. Spring is a wonderful time. I hope she finds joy in your words.
