Pranked(Sonnet) Poem by OTONYE DANIEL

Pranked(Sonnet)

Rating: 4.8


I saw a lady sweet and fair,
I saw her wearing white,
With eyes as blue and sweet as care,
She walked the adouring light.
She's cute and sweet as goodly kittens,
My eyes saw her and leaped for joy.
She wore to match the dress a mitten,
Gifting a reverie to a craving boy.
Aye! I craved to touch her skin of gold,
Then, she smiled and looked my way.
Ooops! I saw her face wrinkly old!
She's an old lady with youth'd sway.
My reveries came to a halting screech,
Never be quick to admire a lady is all i preach!

You will be an old man one day. People are people, BUT, a pretty girl turns heads. - BRAVO

Aye! All that glitters is not gold. However, she seemed a well dressed, kind, intelligent though elderly woman. I am after all almost 400 years old. Did you happen to get her number. Nice poem with a fitting title.
