I greatly enjoyed your beautiful and unusual gallery. You have a delightful sense of humor. I commented on your "Poincianna Woman" mentioning the song, which you had never heard. It doesn’t go with your interesting legend, but it was a beautiful song which you might like.
POINCIANA (SONG OF THE TREE)
(Songwriters : Buddy Bernier / Nat Simon)
Recorded by many artists including
Kay Kyser, Vaughn Monroe, Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Vic Damone, Johnny Mathis, The Ventures, Ferrante & Teicher, Dave Brubeck, Bert Kaempfert, Robert Goulet, and Arthur Lyman during the period 1941 to 1989
Blow Tropic wind, sing a song to the trees
Trees sigh to me, soon my love I will see
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me there grows a rhythmic savage beat
Love is ev’rywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart’s in time, I’ve learned to care
Poinciana, though skies may turn from blue to gray
My love will live forever and a day
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I’ll learn to love forever, come what may.

"Wow, this must be Poinciana week or something. (I got a whole heap of comments and started typing up the stories properly)
Thank you for the lyrics. No, they don’t quite go with the Poiciana woman, but they’re still nice."
