Primavera
A "The Sonnet of Shadows" Challenge Entry
Spring’s gleam of overwhelming light
Completes the creeping birth of dawn,
Sates fleeting winter's looming flight
Through obscured shades of beauty’s brawn.
*
It harkens darkened hearts forlorn
Brightens the light of dew filled days
With the lushness of spring newborn,
Freeing shadows from love’s sworn slaves.
*
Birth amid dimmed life welcomes spring
With nymphs of light, songs it ignites
In floral umbra strewn, it brings
All t’ward the rays of summer’s plight:
*
Spring's birth from dark to light is hence
To spark the birth of love immense.

Structures Rising
The latent lust sprinkles matters like moonbeams through a window barely whispering greetings. Structures know the melting of egos or the moment never lasts but form flutters a format for diplomats to rise again in heroes cloaks that they cannot wear because they're not allowed to. So, inference is a bargain in ideals. Torrent is a scream from the heart. Peace is in the window.

The Piggy Project
I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

Cindy, this is a beautiful Sonnet. I felt like I was living a fairy tale.🌹
You do have the gift of love and romance in your words. Good job,
What a beautiful poem, Cindy!
I really enjoyed how the rhythm flows naturally, keeping the sonnet form intact without feeling forced. A graceful piece.
Love the image and your words are magical
