A Sonnet for My Beloved Prince

written for the Poem Per Day Challenge, Jan 24th, 2005

Come, my love, come play with me
At the oasis by the Palms Three
In a beautiful land by the sea,
In our beloved Catuary;

Found where Mr. Kookaburra decreed
Where his feather fell in the land by the sea
We built our kingdom, and together we
Ruled there so very happily.

You planted for me roses pink
In our garden by the sea,
By the beautiful aquamarine sea
In our beloved Catuary,

Beneath the stars together danced we
At the Midnight Moonlight Ball by the sea,
Our hearts filled with laughter and gaiety
In our beautiful Catuary,

Come, my love, come play with me
At the oasis by the Palms Three,
And together we’ll live eternally
In our beloved Catuary.
