Poem Title:
Poem
I was a marvelous ophthalmologist, impacting how others saw this world, As tomorrow one day sees yesterday, on lanes where hued leaves swirled. I corrected hazy, crazy vision problems, with eyeglasses and with surgery; Like a second look, evoked by raspberry rose, to verify beauty's certainty. I also did frequent research, on hidden causes and cures for eye disease; Just as reasons for rainbows and stardust, lay hidden in nature mysteries. I had once studied cosmetology, and I loved the art of applying makeup; And I never left home without it, like opening red tulip, at sunrise wakeup. Friends fascinated like fire opals, bringing fetching colors into a vibrant life; And we relished flaming, flamboyant Fridays, under maroon skies of strife. Flavorful fruits were fanatically ripening, when feel-good family visited me. Fiery red raspberries and fat blueberries, fell beneath puff clouds, so pretty. I lived in the house of sudden mists, in oranges, pinks, purple and scarlet, Where any day could be right for lovely visions, before the sky grew starlit. Snap peas and sweet potatoes grew in the gardens, along my sunny street, In days of searing, scarlet sun salutes, and gold hours of pause and repeat. Nearby noon gave nectarine notice, as neighborly neighbors came visiting, When green nature bore a heatwave, like the nesting woodpecker, knocking. Pink fairy wings bloomed fantasy gardens, as the yellow tiger lilies roared; And the dragon lulus breathed fire, like ardor cooling for one, once adored. Brain cacti meditated summer greenery, whilst toad lilies attracted insects; And pink bottlebrushes swept away sad blues, scrubbing aside dour defects. I was attending a Fourth of July cook out, hosted by the fondest of families; But the makeup I'd ordered was late, forcing me to put aside pure vanities! By the time I left for the plum, pleasant party, I was feeling oddly liberated; And family and friends did not notice my lack, like stars, clouds obliterated. I had a lovely time that rosy day, when martins sang like the Fourth of July, Amidst mauve festivity and lemon sunshine, and bellflowers ringing nearby! The lesson I learned that vivid day, is to glam up or not, according to mood, For people are still loveable either way, like faint dawn moon, briefly viewed.
