The poem, an English sonnet titled “Christ the Master Creator’s Regal Cardinal Amid Spring’s Blossoms”, celebrates a cardinal’s striking beauty in a vibrant spring setting, attributing its existence to Christ’s divine creation. In the first quatrain, the cardinal’s regal red feathers stand out against pink blossoms and greening branches under Christ-shaped skies. The second quatrain highlights his song as a divine gift, adorning the boughs with grace and reflecting Christ’s design. The third quatrain expands to meadows and streams, portraying the bird’s wings as a symbol of faith, crafted by a holy hand. The final couplet crowns him as spring’s ardent king, a radiant jewel freed from winter, embodying Christ’s eternal love and mastery over the season. The 14-line structure follows the ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme in iambic pentameter, weaving rich imagery with a spiritual thread.

Beneath a dome of skies by Christ unfurled,
A cardinal gleams through blossoms soft and pink,
His regal red a hue from heaven’s ink,
A sovereign flame in spring’s renewed world.

Through leaves, his song ascends, a gift divine,
Each note a thread of grace in nature’s frame,
He crowns the boughs where dewdrops bear His name,
A lordly sign of Christ’s own grand design.

The meadows bloom with life by holy hand,
Where violets bow and streams in sunlight sing,
His wings sweep air like faith’s anointed wing.

Perched high, he gilds the dawn o’er sacred land,
A jewel shaped free by love’s eternal span,
Spring’s ardent king, from Christ, the source of spring.
