Paulette Calasibetta Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Black-Eyed-Susan

Black Eyed-Susan went out to play
                                  making new friends day after day;
                                     in the garden they would wear
                                        golden ribbons in their hair
                                         and gaily perform a ballet.

I bet her friends will be just as lovely, with blue buttons in their middle, or emerald leaves drooping down around their stems A garden party of sorts. Lovely, Paulette Paulette Calasibetta May 19, 2025 at 4:15 AM Yes, I think they do feel pretty....glad you enjoyed my whimsy...thanks for stopping by to comment. Paulette
