Original Submission by Nethma Abhimani

Sonnet 0.5 and Sonnet 1

In season, rooted in clay, and gold they grow

Dozens of candle lights, leaves supporting

As it blooms; eagerly, beneath the sun’s glow

Through the chill breeze that pulses warmth, blushing

Rises your crowned sun, scattering gold from the lyre

Happiest is the sunflower, and envious is the sun

From east to west daily, too high to admire

Bells ring, to pray everyday-may like a nun

Sitting on the throne of the whitest cloud

The sun blinds himself, banishing care

Ivory orb under gold, Shine O’ great actor, proud,

Naive she is, and O’ fancies with care

As twilight rules, the sun gracefully descends

such a cold summer, virgin petals unbloom, and good morning moon

Good morning moon, you are very Earl-Y

Millions of diamonds, is prom always tomorrow?

Virtuous man learned from Romeo, If you were mine

Cherished you’ll finally feel. Such a child, diamonds more?

Borrowing light from the sun, come play your cello

Death itself lingers, yet his beauty is scarred

Every pulchritudinous flaw of craters, deep or hollow

Colorful clusters of freckles, what fine designs of sublime, marred

Peeping from cloud to cloud from time to time

Who admires you more than a lonely sailor?

The light betrays him, yet he still waits for her, Time,

O’ lonely fool, your heart will only grow paler

Though one is veiled, and the other is bare

O’ to see you crowned in yellow one day.
