Poem
Janice Avery loved deep green nature; like cherry sunset owls, gawping. She dwelt with her parents and Sissy, when old, golden days were walking. They lived out in the hilly country, where orangeish stars could be seen; And summer seemed to last forever, for days held a predominate sheen. Noons were filled with happiness laughter, that foreshadowed pink moon. Life was young, but blue world was old. Burgundy butterflies left cocoons! Mauve fog was doing its fadeaway, as never failing, friends came calling; When feisty fandango flowers flopped-in scent breezes, sweetly recalling! Future blooms were dreaming buds, in the spring of faultless, family visits, Via paths, lined with flowers of familiar hues. Birds sang in willow thickets. Janice lived in the house of cool shadows, beneath lovely, sheltering oaks; With colored birds at each window! Back fences, saw many tales and jokes! Rich, raspberry sun lent sights to remember, on their road of blue flowers. 'Ere reverent night fell richly! Like marmalade change, expected in hours. Numerous hued clouds were etched nebulously, on dusk skies, blackberry, When nostalgic neighbors came fondly, as a turquoise moon rose, solitary. 'Midnight valentine' camillas felt Cupid's arrows, under yellow stars of thrall; And 'Lady Margaret' passionflower vine, in burgundy, crept late to the ball! 'Gay goblin' flowers indulged red revelry, as 'brilliant lilies' rivaled the sun; When 'sultry scarlet' blooms pined for sunset, like nostalgic noon, undone! Janice was a birdwatcher, for she loved pretty songbirds' chirps and trills; But, she wanted to see them up close! So, she put seed on her windowsill. One day as she was entering the room, she saw a red cardinal, hopping; And pecking her seed as he hopped. Janice ran, but he was not stopping! Yet, Janice had gotten a good glimpse of red, like sunset skies, before dark; With a shake he'd flown into azure sky, destnation garden, or green park. Janice realized moments are precious, and the briefest, might be golden; And those are the ones most likely to revisit, once twinkling time is olden! 'Once I saw a little bird Go hop, hop, hop, So I said: – little bird, Will you stop, stop, stop? Then I was going to the window To say "How do you do?" But he shook his little tail, And away he flew!'
