Late February

               Late February.

New flowers are starting to blossom now.
Reviving the rooks their nest-building skill.
No more is heard the night fox’s bark shrill.
Fresh verdure grass does the climate allow.
Blithe twittering birds revoke every row. (as in: 'how')
Fleck-breasted thrushes are singing to thrill,
With cadence of song the twilight they fill;
Sometimes from roof-top and sometimes from bough.
Forsythias reveal bright-yellow stars.
Constructions rear high on many a site.
Poems are posted in forums around.
Fair daffodils gaze from window-sill vase; (as in: 'cars')
With silent trumpets, well looking aright;
May they, through lawn borders, quite soon, abound.

Do you consider this to be a pretty fair example of a nature sonnet?

    It´s a perfect example of ABBA ABBA CDE CDE
    However that is not why I like it, it is because it is simply beautiful
    I love most of the lines but 5-8 are the favourites.

      Glad you enjoyed it Emma. Sorry though about the pron. note on lines 5 and 12. It's just that when I ran it through with the Narrator, it wasn't pronounced the way I put it in those notes.

        I understood why you helped the reader to pronounce the words the way you needed them to read.
        Even people who speak the same language eg:Americans and British,pronounce the same word differently, a prime example being "vase".
        Regards Emma

          Too true Emma. Similarly there are of different spelling of the same words also.
