In…out…ribbons held Around, around, the Maypole, Building as they go… Around, around, in and out… Weaving patterns in their dance. In…out…days of life, Around, around through the years, Building as we go… Around, around, in and out… Weaving patterns of our life. Over, under, braid, We weave our days, one by one, Layers make them strong… The beauty of our patterns Deepens as our years go by. In…out…days of life, Around, around through the years, Building as we go… Over, under, in, and out… Weaving patterns of our life.

I enjoyed how you wove the words on the page as if they mimicked the action of the ribbons, very sophisticated ;) Congrad's on your win. Light & Love

Your story falls within the category of whimsical, fanciful and imaginative; armed with an energy of its own that propels it into our sphere of reality. Emile. #7
