A Sonnet for Spring

After a long, lugubrious winter, everyone is basking in this nearly perfect springtime (well, except for the torrents unleashed from the sky today!)  Yeri, a ninth grader, captures the season in a well-crafted sonnet, chosen by students on the sevenatenine staff.


Spring Rain

Love comes to me like a spring rain in May;

My frozen heart is melting in silence.

I'm drenched in the rain on a sunny day;

Your warming hand is my only guidance.

 

When the spring rain is falling, I miss you;

Your scent is everywhere, I feel your love.

This heartwarming love, do you feel it, too?

Oh, you are the only one I think of.

 

I have never felt this way before,

I don't know what this is, it just might be love.

This flutter, I want to feel more and more;

This is the love from the heaven above.

 

My love takes a journey backwards through time,

And the rain keeps falling, can you be mine?
