A Shakespearean Sonnet from the Southern Hemisphere
As autumn crumbles into brittle parts,
And lifted on a whisper of winters breath,
Another season of the year departs,
The clouds brief tears bear mourning of its death,
Cold snatches the pearls of heavenly birth,
To sprinkle twee crystal parcels in lieu,
Bewitching giggling streams in sheets of mirth,
Primed for pebbles to free the babbling blue,
Sleeping giants will stretch their creaking joints,
Steel bones snaking through the mountain resorts,
Planks beneath feet lead where pink noses point,
Warming the wilds with storm served snow sports,
Adventure with an ephemeral glow,
Seizing the season as prints in the snow.

A big thank you to Ingrid for hosting Sonnet Sunday; putting all the work together from the featured poets. I loved reading them all.
You can start this collection with Ingrid’s “Spring into Summer”.
What is life without community? I would love to connect with other nicecissists out there. Reach out, let me know what you think in the comments, and of course, give me a follow for more – nice!
