Christine, I've been reading Malcolm Guite for about ten years, the only contemporary sonneteer I know. And then I found your beautiful work. Wow! I am amazed and impressed and inspired. These are beautiful!
Such an extraordinary sonnet! The poem-constructer in me relishes your fearless choice of rhyming sounds (drip!!!); the poem-reader in me is captivated by the clear and beautiful way you show us the clouds linking spring to the winter that was and the summer that's coming. So lovely. The salute to Orion is spare and handsome as the Hunter is; I hope he salutes you back from the night sky.

Loved that poem to Orion.
