Nature's Spring Sonnet

By Leshly Martin ‘26

As spring approaches, the plants begin to wake up,

And the ice on the lake melts, for it is no longer needed in spring.

Flowers bloom creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Worries seem to melt away like the ice on the lake,

And joy seems to bloom like the flowers in spring.

Children rejoice and go out to play, 

Joining their friends at flourishing parks. 

Animals delight in the climate,

For it is the time of flourishing.

Children, like animals, flourish in spring.

Sightseeing is prevalent during this time,

The nature calls out to people,

Hoping they'll acknowledge it, and not their phones.

During the other seasons, nature has been abandoned,

But it tries to get recognized in the spring.

Why is it that nature is forgotten?

Is it because people think it is dying?

Or is it because people don't see life in it?

Nature has life, people just don't see it.

Maybe that is why nature puts in an effort during spring.

The beauty of nature isn't just seen in spring.

Nature's beauty is seen in the winter.

Nature's beauty is seen in the fall.

Nature's beauty is seen in the summer.

Nature's beauty is always seen, not just in spring.
