A fine sonnet about the yearning for summer and how we must brave each season as we have no choice. I wish you luck with the contest, I enjoyed the rhymes here, love Dolly x x x

That's very true. I feel when I'm in the middle of one season I am wishing the next one along. I guess it's the grass is always greener scenario. I love the imagery and the unique descriptive phrases. Falls rust Tableau. That one got me. Beautifully done. Gretchen

An excellent entry for the Sonnet Poetry Contest. Your descriptions of the seasons are lovely and have me anxious for summer to arrive! My favorite line:

Then Spring her entrance comes like painted song

Nicely written. Good luck in the contest.

I love the flow, and the subject of summer in this sonnet. I am so ready for summer as well! The rhyming is perfect and projects nice images. Great job M. Kari!

A lovely sonnet expressing your longing for the warmth of summer to arrive. Your verse flows and rhymes well and you include some stunning imagery (I particularly like "Fall's rust tableau.") Personally, I wouldn't have put "segue" twice. The impact of the second one becomes rather lost as a result. But an excellent entry and I wish you well! Debbie

You'll be entering your springtime up there, while we'll be entering that special season of autumn, probably the most even of the seasons, mild weather. This is beautifully written, I love the language rich nature of it, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
