A Contemporary Sonnet for Generation-X

Encouraged Spring flora of pink and blue Do hypnotize the landscape with promise, Allowing no solace for junipers Only just risen above Summer's dawn--

For emerald needles pale to florets. And Sweet-scented breezes do tempt the senses With brimming bouquets of blossoming buds, While conifers cry and vie for attention--

But gentle winds do not promote their cause: Only fresh fragrants are worth a response. Cruel Nature sheds no tears for extraction As pounding currents of fast-moving streams Grind away banks enriched by past plant life, Clearing the soil for more pink and blue fields.
