Carolyn Devonshire Poet Couplet

Lady's Slipper Moccasins

In a society where mood elevators thrive
Of Lady’s Slipper’s value we should not be deprived

Now as rare as the Native American culture
That found the medicinal plant promotes composure

Its moccasin shape made it even more attractive
To peaceful tribes who disdained the hyperactive

For just like stepping into a pair of comfy shoes
A Lady’s Slipper’s herbs can eradicate your blues

A treat for the eyes awaits in the early spring shade
Soft golden texture like skin on an Indian maid

You have unleased with your words, a writing style in this poem, that has a life of it's own. I think I have finally mastered what I think needed to be said about your talent as a writer.
