Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Love Story

A Black Eyed Susan I do be,

Wildflower found in the New World.

When colonists did first see me

An American beauty unfurled.

They did choose to give me the name

Of a Black Eyed Susan of poem

Who hoped her beloved William came

Back from the seas and safely home.

So if you seed Sweet William with

Me, we will grow up side by side,

And like lovers in truth not myth

We'll fill a gardener's heart with pride.

My blooms of gold, his purple red

Same time and place, a lovely bed.
