PAD Day 14 sonnet

Fifty Before Sixty

Was Pennsylvania-born, one autumn night.

Remained until a little less than eight.

The seven of us packed in car so tight

To Delaware, a flat and sandy state.

A choir tour then took me down the coast,  

Through Alabama and up Tennessee.

Then later added Northeast to my boast.

Wyoming! There I met my groom to be.

Moved to Nebraska for a year two.

And then in Colorado where I’m now.

From there, the western half I have gone through,

And cruised Alaska, so keeping a vow.

Then, visiting Hawaii, I made fifty.

And so, I met my goal at not yet sixty.
