Writing Exercise 019

The recently published book boosts my creativity; I'm in high spirits. :D
So this week's writing exercise is a sonnet. There are different sonnet types, structurewise, so I chose the iambic pentametric German version instead of the Shakespearean sonnet.
Here it is:

2016/04/20 – write a sonnet (German sonnet)

Spring

When in the morning birds sing loud and clear,

When tulips, hyacinths and cherries bloom,

When the Orion leaves alone the moon,

Then do not fear for spring is very near.

The sun is on the rise so high and bright,

Wake up! Daylight saving time steals one hour,

Yawning jaws our mueslis and breads devour,

Deer roam the forests, cross the streets at night.

Blackbird, thrush and nightingale sing a song,

The love is here; have you waited for long?

The trees and flowers spread all their pollen.

Motor bikes rev their engines boasting proud,

To village citizens they are too loud,

And many a nose is pretty swollen.
