Sense Sonnet - Acher

Debbie and Carrie

The mother showed the daughter how
A movie star could come to be.
Through decades each did take her bow
In famed show biz celebrity.
The mother, Debbie Reynolds, and
The daughter, Carrie Fisher, were
The Queen and Princess of the land
Of film where magic does occur.
At Christmas time, twenty sixteen,
So suddenly Carrie did die -
The Princess taken from the Queen.
But a few hours then went by.

She could not bear being apart,
Debbie died from a broken heart.
