There was a maze in Sunflower Valley
Designed by a garden girl named Sally.
She lined the dirt pathway with solar lights
So people could clearly see lefts and rights.
Her maze was amazing, creative, fun!
It had been rated Top Maze number One!
It was right near her nice castle tower
That she built brick by brick with hand power.
And she lined it with white-climbing roses
That shone in moonlight with glowing poses!
She’d look out her windows to see the views
Which displayed all the most breathtaking hues!
She took care of her maze every morning
Ere the heat of the sun began scorning.
When it was hot, she’d retreat to her place
And arrange fresh cut blossoms in a vase.
The shadow on the sundial announced
The hour was getting further pronounced.
And then she realized her bracelet was gone-
The one she wore with a most charming swan.
The query she had was, “Where could it be?
It was still on my wrist when I had tea.
What if it’s outside in my maze tonight?”
So Sally pulled out her trusty flashlight…
And went off in her maze of sunflowers
to search for it in her shirt and trousers.
The arrow on the wind vane shifted east-
And the outside temperature decreased.
“I know I passed by this way earlier.”
Just then the wind chime became swirlier,
And she could smell rain coming in the air.
“I must search faster! A storm would impair
my search!” And then she smelled some peppermint.
She turned the corner and saw her foot print.
And just 3 inches from the print she saw,
Lay a glint from a shiny silver claw…
It was the clasp of her missing bracelet!
She then took up her dirt-covered asset,
And wiped it as clouds began to rumble…
She smiled and ran without a grumble.
She was thankful that she found it in time!
And then she pulled out her pie of key lime-
Which she ate while hearing the drops of rain,
Sounding a rhythm on the windowpane.
It was a relaxing cacophony
That ended its’ melody at three.
And as the sun rose like a house of cards,
A chorus began by a choir of birds.
Sally looked out to see the brand new day
And an army of sunflowers arrayed
In fresh yellow, bright as a pep rally!
So begins a new day in Sunflower valley.
