In the valley, Lilies grow wild and free,
nestled beside roses on prickly vine.
And the Jasmine play peek a boo to see,
emerald rivers flow with nature's wine.
Bluebirds humming softly, a lilting tune,
from mighty oaks caressed by gentle rays.
Bow reverence of April, May and June,
when spring renews all with its wondrous ways.
The days warmth gives way to evening splendor,
as the moon glistens, winking its blue eyes.
To whimsical beauty, we surrender,
losing our hearts in the twinkling skies.
Summer waits impatiently in the wings,
until then, 'tis spring, that joyously sings.

Thank you so much for this colorful beauty of a write! The imagery along with the picture brings me home to my grandma's in her garden.

So beautifully with vivid imagery, so vivid I became lost in it. I did not realize it was a sonnet until I read the name of the contest, and there it was - rhythm and rhyme that shine!

Exquisite
Looking at the picture and reading the words has been a joyous experience. The poem stands well enough on it's own, it is lyrical and flows smoothely as 'nature's wine.' Spring and Fall, the transitional seasons, are my favorite times of the year. Your rhyme sheme works wonderfully in it's simplicity. Well done.
