Poem
Bonnie Brown was in love with Charles, like black pearl clings to night, So young and engaged to be married, like myriad stars, shining white. They were active professionals, dwelling in a charming, bustling town; As warbling charms orange noon, after pink mist clears, with no sound. They had dreams of future and a family, like purple nights of fantasy; And they were already making plans, like butterflies flitting frantically. Fellowship of friends made fabulous Fridays, when they met after hours, Dancing fun and funky karaoke, like dragonflies, among yellow flowers. The family had always preferred flying, and finally arrived with jet lag, In their flurry of activity; like snowflakes, or thunder's flashing, red flag. Bonnie lived in the house of teatime, preferred in contented moments; When speckled, green birds flew by the window, of afternoon suspense. Scarlet rose was seared in heart's memory, on a street of grass sighing; For Bonnie loved growing pretty blooms. She found their colors exciting! News of the nation was on neighbors' lips, in the modern times of now; But, novel nature took no notice, and it wouldn't have mattered, anyhow. 'Candy cane sorrel' blossoms thrilled children, in sweet days of summer; As 'firecracker' blooms lauded 4th of July, 'mid droning, cricket latecomers. 'Red slipper' flowers lounged in velvet, while the 'parrot lilies' squawked; And gardeners got rich as 'ruby cloud' descended, 'ere moonlight walked. Bonnie planned to take a trip overseas, for two weeks of rest and gaiety; But it'd be hard parting with Charles, like fall, bereft of flowering society. Bonnie had so much fun, witnessing beautiful sights, like she never knew! For all folks need a little adventure, like rainbows of skies, suddenly blue. Charles was busy with a major work project, but missed Bonnie terribly; Like colorful seasons that keep repeating, their vibrant days, customarily. 'My Bonnie lies over the ocean, My Bonnie lies over the sea, My Bonnie lies over the ocean, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me, Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me!'
