Nature's Dance

Under the skies of cloudless blue, The rolling waves rush to the shore. As if to race winged birds that flew, And touch bare land just like before. A rhythmic dance played day by day, By land and water's graceful sway, And true, it can soothe aching hearts - This gleeful dance nature imparts. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~01.31.18 A Rispetto, an Italian form of poetry, is a complete poem of two rhyme quatrains with strict meter. The meter is usually iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of abab ccdd.

It was well known we had been cursed; At first rehearsed then we traversed A bloated body, Looking gawdy; Trump as a child was badly nursed.

your words flow as beautifully as the rolling waves Cynthia. I adore poems about the sea as I live on a tiny Island, we walked along the coast today and took photos of the sea I love the ever changing scene: `hugs Jan xx

Thank you Jan Allison, watching the sea (and the birds) is like watching poetry in motion.
