Return of Spring Form of the Week Coronasonnet

Return of Spring

My garden calls me in this hour,
"tis my faith that every flower
enjoys the air it breathes"*
its sweet breath it bequeaths.

I flee from isolation to dance
among the bright-faced daisies,
the royal iris bloom, not by chance,
reminding me, I'm anything but crazy.

SPRING ANNOUNCES, "NEW LIFE,
PUT AWAY YOUR UPTIGHT STRIFE.
BASK IN MY VIBRANT HUES,
IN WINTER YOU PAID YOUR DUES.

WITH EACH DAY, LIVE IN THE NOW
AND I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU, I VOW."
                             ~~Judi Van Gorder

Verse Form The Coronasonnet  
Dave Schneider at Writing.com tells us how.

"The recipe for this viral concoction follows:"
         1. Written in 14 lines.
         2. The coronasonnet has been infected by 2 lines from another poem(s) and includes them verbatim as part of its 14 lines.
         3. The coronasonnet is asymptomatic for the first 8 lines, but from line 9 onwards, every word is written in all caps.
         e. The coronasonnet ends with social distancing, with more and more space in each line. Lines 12-14 include only one-syllable words.
