Daydream Tiara

Midday sometimes in class instead of learning algebra While she should be calculating and figuring a formula Her mind wanders aboard a moonlit gondola Serenaded by a musician and his viola She follows the enticing aroma of hot lasagna Zigs instead of zags, could be seen as a faux-pas She glides around a peninsula soon in terra incognita Traversing a nebula not a care in the world, she’s in Utopia Atop her head a diamond studded tiara Below a ball gown of the finest taffeta As she gracefully waves and cheers at the orchestra Who is playing al dente a capella for an al fresco opera Such fleeting moments garnered as bouquets of ephemera She weaves in and out of daydream during algebra AP: 1st place 2021, Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on June 8, 2018 for JUNE 2018 STANDARD CONTEST sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 2ND Originally posted in March, 2018
