Exercise 4: A Curtal Sonnet

How long we wait for sunny skies--
For late breakfasts and sleepy days;
For crisp autumn leaves or blossomed buds;
When the fledgling bird from its nest first flies;
We wander off the path to find more adventurous ways. 

How sudden it is we become aware--
A deep red cardinal rests upon a limb;
Two girls make angels in the snow;
A star peeks out from its cloudy lair; 
No longer will winter seem so dim,
                                              So bare.
