SONNET

TEXAS SPRINGTIME

The frost has slipped away

While the winds wave goodby

Then the leaves venture this green day

And the grasses eye the sky.

The Blue Stem awakes with Canadian Wild Rye

On the banks of Bear Creek with berries in bloom

Asserting the Texas loom in fields to glorify

Grape vines in the chorus with Red Buds shyly soon.

Along Lake Buchanan shores the poppies open their eyes

To see blue skies with billowing clouds over the hills

And the hills comes alive with blue Bonnets to reach the sky

While willow and elm trees bow to nature’s will.

Man rejoices with Nature for our nation

While the Master Designer smiles for His creation
