The afternoon seemed too lovely not to trace, yet it took too long. Thus, leaving off for other activities, it was not truly written until its close. Hence....but who wants to read it anyway?
(sonnet # DXLVIII)
Sweet sunny afternoon with beaming face,
Bright cheerful aspect, tender azure skies
Where fluffy, brilliant-framed cloud puffs' white dyes
'Gainst sunlit blue 'non vanish or give place
To clearing heavens' gracious 'loved embrace,
While milder winds breathe warmer, gentle sighs
O'er Winter's frozen earth until day hies
To e'en where gloaming's whispers blush pink grace.
Thy shadows subtly lengthen and o'erthrow
Day's world as twilight beckons in peach frills,
Where lavendar's soft paint begins to show
The romance bloss'ming 'til it fairly fills
All 'round with Love in Light's adieu, its glow
Infusing ev'rywhere with precious thrills.
