[attempts at Shakespearean sonnet form] If spring is daylight dawning on the night, Then you are March's unforgiving snow; When time of year has come for evenings bright, You are the clouded sky which eastward blows. With rolling thund’rous clouds you come to rest Upon the blameless springtime of my heart; And wither baby blossoms in my chest, Unwelcomed winter snowing ‘gainst its part. Caught in the wake of unforetold advance, I’m naked and defenseless with you there; Prepared for longer days of spring romance, I'm burned by icy tempest of your air. But snow knows not what time of year he falls, It is but chance of when the weather calls.

If spring is daylight dawning on the night
[attempts at Shakespearean sonnet form] If spring is daylight dawning on the night, Then you are March's unforgiving snow; When time of year has come for evenings bright, You are the clouded sky which eastward blows. With rolling thund’rous clouds you come to rest Upon the blameless springtime of my heart; And wither baby blossoms in my chest, Unwelcomed winter snowing ‘gainst its part. Caught in the wake of unforetold advance, I’m naked and defenseless with you there; Prepared for longer days of spring romance, I'm burned by icy tempest of your air. But snow knows not what time of year he falls, It is but chance of when the weather calls.
