Couplets Poems
The Sole Witness
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Aiken Drum lived a very long time ago, in days of sweetest nostalgia,
And his parents told amazing stories; when rose danced with dahlia!
Aiken was captivated by the myths and the legends, waking fancies,
Notably the tale of the man in the moon; like pearls of night's ease!
In each telling, he feigned to be, the celebrated "man in the moon,"
As imagination rises from impetus, and hearing mind's whimsy tune.
Aiken Drum enjoyed fruits of friendship, and the ways summer flies;

On Sunflower Road
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Daisy Bell lived in the fruitful countryside, eldest of three siblings;
Like a lemony day just ended, and jet night, of red sky beginnings.
So close to her parents and siblings, like scent clinging to flowers,
She loved living sweet country life, of gold, sunlit, treasured hours.
Redbirds sang about high-rise life, in trees, with blooms, crowded;
Where rooster crows noted cool dawn, and red mists ehshrouded.
Daisy Bell was in love with John, a mechanic who had big dreams;

Sun Chased the Moon
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Daphne and Mark were married two years, and had a baby named Cheryl.
She was the golden sunshine of each morn, and each dusk's lustrous pearl.
Those were glorious, prismatic days, when sun naturally chased pale moon;
And in the heart of the vivacious country, as trees held tunes, of leafy June.
Daphne had always loved exquisite poetry, and yearned to create it herself;
And planned to do so one day, because dreams shouldn't be left on a shelf.
Croaking frogs told of passing footfalls, as friends came, in fetching colors.

An Old Fashioned Love
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was a dedicated, expert arborist, bringing joy and comfort to shady spaces,
As mountains give cool joy to blooms, in butterscotch afternoon's last traces.
A love of trees grew in youth, when climbing our oak, four hundred years old,
Then having fun in my tree house, soaked in fervor of sunshine uncontrolled.
I kept gnarled, graceful trees healthy, giving pleasure and beauty to big eyes,
In the greenest possible idle fashion, like the plummy sunrise, full of surprise.
Good friends and I picnicked under its limbs, as it was still in the noble family,

A Pocket Full of Sunshine
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Lucy Locket lived amidst Lakeland Hills, where jay serenaded morning;
Like plum rainbows celebrate sunshine, with never any silent warning.
Lucy was merely twenty years old, like a peach rose, dusted with dew;
And she was also a dutiful teacher, unveiling what children never knew.
Lucy liked to sew and to garden, like green nature, roving everywhere,
Recalling lavish, sunset skies we used to view, in the colors of vanity fair.
Kitty Fisher was Lucy's best friend, amidst many, for she was popular;

If the Shoe Fits
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Angelica was thirteen years old, and 8th grade graduation was nearing;
Like scarlet lilies and the song of blue jays, just ahead, in grassy clearing.
Her school would be having its celebration, in orange excitement days;
And her family would all be attending, everyone lost in happiness haze!
Angelica's school would also hold an assembly, with talk of high hopes;
And their principal and many others would speak, like acorns, to tall oaks!
Her friends found themselves elated, too, for they'd graduate, together;

It's in the Cards
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Sally Ann had long yearned for a dog, as smoky desert longs for rain.
Sally Ann was nearly twelve years old, like noontides of glossy refrain.
She lived out in the pretty country, with both parents, an only child;
And waked daily to robin singing, on the lanes where sun first smiled.
She was happy and a bright student, like the caramel stars, twinkling;
On the edge of the summer solstice, when onyx night's still lingering.
Friendly feet, on fuchsia days, ran fleetly, as they joined in joyful races,
