"Wake up, Miss Scarlett!"
Her Mammy loudly said.
"The roses are a-bloomin' child -
So get outta that bed!"

With hope in her heart
And a sparkle in her eye,
She dressed in her finest
She'd see her beau that night.

She refused the oysters
Mammy served with her tea.
Prissy's violin voice annoyed
Always slightly off key.

The Tarleton twins
Came by around four.
"An afternoon canoe ride?"
They eagerly did implore.

Scarlett refused them
But in that short while,
Trumpets in their heads
Left there by her smile.

As the sun bid adieu
Cicada chorus came alive.
She stood on Tara's balcony
Waiting for Rhett to arrive.

Gone with the Wind is my absolute favorite movie of all time (hey, what can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic) so I really enjoyed your poem. A job well done, you can rhyme well.
