Poem
Lucy Locket lived amidst Lakeland Hills, where jay serenaded morning; Like plum rainbows celebrate sunshine, with never any silent warning. Lucy was merely twenty years old, like a peach rose, dusted with dew; And she was also a dutiful teacher, unveiling what children never knew. Lucy liked to sew and to garden, like green nature, roving everywhere, Recalling lavish, sunset skies we used to view, in the colors of vanity fair. Kitty Fisher was Lucy's best friend, amidst many, for she was popular; Like finches are popular in floriated summer, creating gladness, ocular. Fancy emerald nature wore fun, fantasy makeup, in its faceted colors; And unfaltering family flattered fall with visits, beloved like no others. Kitty lived in the house of very ordinary, like cherry redbirds singing; Where silver moments comprised golden hours, jeweled time ringing. Summer snapdragons grew quite lovely, on her sparkling street of sun; And scarlet maples smiled colors, until the smoky season left, sudden. Nepalese neighbors narrated tales of sweet nation, at mulberry night, When nectarous, naval oranges hung ripely, under moon, satiny white. Purple ranunculus blooms resembled roses, when sunrise echoed dusk; And 'Marimo Moss Balls' played water polo, while jasmine trailed musk. Giant water lilies ruled placid lakes, giving rise to titanic, pink blooms; As golden sun and calm moon vie for dominion, inside separate rooms. Lucy and Kitty went to a lecture, in a lavish, lavender evening of larks. The lively, literary topic was much enjoyed, like the sun's dying sparks. Afterwards, Kitty and Lucy parted, each to their own welcoming home; Like a green bird of turquoise skies, oft makes its nostalgic way, alone. Later, Lucy discovered her pocket was missing, its location so unknown, Like red streaks of gold time, ever fleeing, past a blue, marble milestone. Next day dawned golden, and Lucy's pocket, she found on her doorstep. Golden coins were tied to its ribbon. And at Kitty's note, her heart leapt! For it was Lucy's sparkling, glad birthday, as devoted friends remember; And Kitty had made it one of her best, like hued leaf nights of November. 'Lucy Locket lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it; Not a penny was there in it, Only ribbon round it.'
