Poem Title:
Poem
Isabel was the youngest of four children, dwelling in a large old house, Nestled under the burgeoning oak trees, in green spring, of no doubts. Isabel's parents were devout churchgoers, insisting upon going weekly; But, Isabel often preferred playing, like dawn, pink sun, shining meekly. Theirs was a tight knit community, the kind everyone wants to live in; Like orange butterflies, calling on red flowers, of golden days in a spin. Isabel and funny friends flew blue kites, under floating clouds of fluff, On finer days, foreseeing furious storm, betwixt yoyo's, bikes and stuff! Fleeting faddish colors flitted summer gardens, as bug eyed frogs leapt, On flighty days of family visits, and gloss sunshine, where the ages slept. Isabel lived in the house of now and then, like a rare eclipse of wonder; Or the burgundy roses of seldom, evoking the green spell we are under. Scented sincerity wafted from still blooms, on the street of sunny views. There Isabel's family lived sparkly lives, like yellow stars, in sweet youth. Nice music came from treetop nests, in shady niches where it was born; When nonchalant neighbors came casual, and geese honked their horn. 'Pink powder puff' flowers applied talcum, as 'rattlesnake calathea' hissed; And 'purple daydream' dozed away, its fragrance and beauty, very noticed! 'Weeping blue wisteria' was melancholy, although sun was shining orange; And 'blue waterfall' bellflowers cascaded, like a couple, taking the plunge. Sunday came and Isabel was pouting, as she would be in church for hours! And she wore a long face to Sunday school, like dissent among the flowers. But, Sunday school was so much fun, and she had forgotten it was Easter; And the Lord's face was smiling down, and her unhappiness, released her! They all had a snack and played a fun game, singing and clapping along; For every warm heart is happiest, midst melodious voices, raised in song! 'If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it, Then your face will surely show it, If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.'
