Monocrostic (Birthday of Giovanna Prisco)
Rosalba Giovanna Carriera of whom to tell
success with pastels portraits did so well
In art she smashed the glsss ceiling
to all of Europe he talent did bring
She was born Giovanna Carmella Babbo.
This Italian-American singer came from Chicago.
In 1952, "Why Don't You Believe Me" went to number one.
She had six more top ten hits before the fifties were done.
Through seven decades, Joni has proven quite able.
All of her music was released on the MGM label.
Joni is still around as of 2020.
Her entertainment career continues at the age of ninety.
I thank both wikipedia.org and www.jonijames.com for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.

Topic: Birthday of Giovanna Prisco (May 18)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Joy is the eye that longs for me and waits
Only me as the clock ticks and leaves spiral
A heart which bursts when she releases her ponytail
Never to be mine
Never to be mine
And I search for you while I'm at rest
Joining the line of the fallen
On the spot I wait to be chosen
And my heart , empty and dormant
Never to be warm
Never to be warm
And the glorious sun radiates off your laughter
Just one, till your eyes land on me again
One glance and pick me as a garment casually left
Asking God for one chance to be in your heart
Never a pulse without me
Never a pulse without me
And your hair touches my face
My dear friend Joanna real name in Italian
