Trailer Park Queen

WAFTING through the open window A DULCET floral FRAGRANCE Adds to the TRANQUILITY Bubbles in her BLISSFUL bath dance An old screen door creaks open He approaches, WHISPERS, “My queen, Your royal carriage awaits.” She emerges and dons her jeans “My lord,” she replies ELOQUENTLY, A LILTING quality in her tone, “’Tis our picnic basket you desire most." She laughs, emits a subtle groan. Indeed, the old farm horse and buggy Are prepared for the couple's ride Through spring fields in LAVENDER SPLENDOR So they open the trailer door, step outside Tenderly she reaches up, takes his hand He gently pulls her onto the carriage This lord and his loving queen know True wealth is found in their marriage *For Andrea's "Beautiful Words" challenge.

Wow! This one, Carolyn, is a nice change from the other rather common negative trailer dweller's alliteration phrase. Good job at looking beyond the surface and into hearts. Excellent poem. A winner for sure. Love, Dane

Another romantic beauty from you, Carolyn! - 'Bubbles in her BLISSFUL bath dance'...great alliteration! Sounds like you've posted another winner here!...Gotta' look up DULCET in the dictionary though (Yeah, I know, I'm a dummy) - Tim
