The Dance
__‘Tis springtime
_And air is a-breezin’,
Wafting through fair winds that blow.
__The blossoms
_From flowering jasmine
Are waltzing along with the flow.
__As vines twist
_And twine in a tango,
A rhumba with bees fills the hive.
__The warblers
_Sashay in a frenzy—
‘Tis springtime, and nature’s alive!

Good song to accompany things performing “The Dance,” each in its own style as noted.
Enjoyed, Margaret. It helped me to remember the pluses of Spring in an unseasonably cold one. Forsythia trumpets may be providing some music.
Enchanting “flowing” description of springtime that certainly brings it “alive.”
I don’t think I’ll look at spring the same way again, Margaret. You’ve got it dancing before my eyes.
What a delightful poem! I love the flow, the details, the unexpected rhymes and alliterations. It all works well and invites a second read, or perhaps a third. Bravo!
Beautiful! It definitely puts you in a Spring mood.
I enjoyed Margaret’s poem, “The Dance”, a lovely portrayal of springtime.
A catchy form! Springtime’s essence is captured in just a few lines. The “a-breezin'” gives this poem a true classical spirit. Thank you, Margaret.
Margaret Briton’s Dance poem beautiful. Congratulations!
