In Her Prime

Springtime easing into summertime Euphoric she was in her prime She had mountains to climb Dreams of a lifetime Magnificent and sublime T’was when she ran into a mime In the midst of his pantomime Trying to make a nickel and dime This distraction turned out to be a crime Just some icky slime and grime In the meantime losing track of time So much to do before bedtime To take advantage of clement clime Better moving overdrive into overtime Before daytime turned to nighttime T’was then she heard the chime While she was still in her prime Still had those mountains to climb And all those dreams of a lifetime Magnificent and sublime Posted this February, 2018 AP: 3rd place 2020
