O’ Brilliant Bud (Sonnet)

in

O’ brilliant bud, how thy beauty fills me,

Looking upon thy delicate petals bloom.

Heaven sent–I see birth within thee,

Erupting with grace from nature’s womb.

~

How perfect art thee O’ simple flower,

Delicately sculpted by the hand of God.

Splendid creation through wondrous power,

Where mortal man darest not trod.

~

Thy life doth mimic that of our own,

So brief, blooming into the loveliest rose.

Until thy beauty fades as time hath shown,

Returning to dust, on north wind blows.

~

Regrets they’ve none for none required,

When thy final day comes and ye lay down tired.

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

    very nice, Dom. So few have a stab at poetry with old English such as ‘ye’, ‘thee’ etc, it worked well, pal. keep smiling and keep writing, best wishes from baldy.

      Thank you Baldy, I appreciate it. I love old English although sometimes I get concerned that I might use it wrong. In any case I’m glad that you liked the poem.

    A great poem —— very Shelley-esque!
