April 9 – Sonnet Sunday

Today, the prompt, a Sonnet. And like many sonnets, the theme for the prompt -Love.

spring walk

soft green lawn slopes down to a velvet lake
a loose patchwork of blankets coats the grass
the picnics planted in sunshine and cake
pulse with the hubbub of holidays past 

the chatter of friends now reunited -
the bright laughter of family sharing
the squeals of barefoot children delighted
balls flying, corns holing, frisbees airing

and dogs, dogs, dogs, all wagging in the breeze
the big and the small, some smooth, some poodles
dachshunds and frenchies and the three Burmese 
huskies and bulldogs, mutts, labs, and doodles.

and you, heart repaired, walking all the way
me holding your hand and loving the day
