[hometext] => You never know what will happen to you when you get a brand new beautiful bonnet...i got sent to jail!
[bodytext] => I'm almost certain, you'll remember this song "In My Easter Bonnet with all the frills upon it.....? That song was written for me I must admit. Of course, that was in my former life, before this one. I can remember so vividly.....wearing it, such a great grand notion! There I was, walking down the avenue.... I've always loved the feel of a gigantic, noble bonnet new! Now that I'm more sophisticated, I crochet... When I wear my scarlet flowered bonnet, I simply can't resist... striking a pose in my scarlet chapeau!  There I go...walking proudly with my head up high! Hoping everyone I pass will admire it as I go by! When you grow older you need a furry purple boa...... Now you're in real style, I must say..... strutting along dancing the rhumba! People in my city where I live, are gracious and understanding.... They realize I'm getting up in years, eccentricity with my aging. I really don't get out of the house that often. It's a joy to be set free, like a scarlet, purple woman! I can feel the eyes concentrating on me... It's such a thrill to know, I can still draw the attention of young and old, bravely! Just yesterday, in my beautiful clothes.... I was stopped and asked to pose? In my strikingly scarlet bonnet with my neck boa clear to my toes! Flattery will get you anywhere with me, if only you treat me kindly.... A photographer from the newspaper asked if he could have my picture grandly? I wrapped my purple boa several times around my neck. I heard him snicker, he thinks I'm a glorified redneck.....? Who cares? I'm having fun...what the heck! So many in my audience were laughing loudly. I was so sure they were enjoying my dancing proudly. Next thing I know, the police show....It's known as "Disturbing the Peace," they told me! I protested, "But it's beautiful woman month!" I was only doing my part, being carefree?" "Look lady, we could care less what you claim to be doing! You're blocking the sidewalk, and your dancing is daunting!" I've never been so thrilled, they handcuffed me on the spot, that young officer so handsome.... Yipeeeeeeeeethey are taking me to jail.... now I can write my experience, in a brand new poem!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
