Poem
Everyone called Joanna Wilde, Joanie, like an abbreviated crescent moon, Of which she was much enamored, with its silky, maroon darkness tunes. Pert Joanie was a young night owl, loving lone whip-poor-wills, singing, And bewitching midnight stars of glitter, and a calm silence, for thinking. Joanie was a successful librarian, and always dreamed of advancement; And having the morning shift, she worked hard for career enhancement. On weekends, Joanie and fatigued friends, had fun days in fresh flowers, Below feathery clouds floating far, in warm honeyed sun, of tonic powers. Sunshine fever fetched family and kisses, when flowers feigned fainting, 'Ere purple finches stood still at noon, in jade scenes, like fine paintings. Joanie lived in the house of starry eclipse, of dusk and moon hiding sun; The red, gold and purple not much missed, afore a rare night was done. Sweet sounds and scents traveled far, along her street of silver willows. And minty butterflies kept so busy, as sunbeams slept, on cloud pillows. Neighbors brought their needlepoint, with news, on nice, nostalgic eves; For nothing's as neat as nonstop conversation, like a chattering of leaves! 'Cuckoo' flowers denoted colorful hours, as 'busy Lizzy' steadily bloomed; While mimosa blossoms wore lush silk in sun, in the teal world, perfumed. Purple bleeding hearts mourned sunset, in the summer of vibrant sparkles. Red carnations shone as if for queenly coronation, awash in gold marvels. Joanie was finally up for promotion. That set her ruby heart to dreaming; But, working nights, she suffered burnout, like grape sun, when scheming. Her habits had to change-and soon! Like 12 hours spent amidst a lily moon. She'd hence be a night owl only rarely; like a sable nightingale's new tune! 'Birds sing in the morn To tell us to rise, And he who sleeps late Will never be wise. For early to bed And early to rise Is the way to be healthy And wealthy and wise.' It all worked out for the best, to the pride and pleasure of Joanie's family; Who loved her enough to be a part of, every heartache and fuchsia victory!
