A Tarantella

I drift by, an open window Faintly I see a candle glow I hear the music's happy cry An open window, I drift by I linger there, to hear the beat The urge to dance grabs at my feet A bit of fun for me to share To hear the beat, I linger there A moments pleasure, in our days Perhaps the tarantella plays A small thing but such a treasure In our days, a moments pleasure
Fore Andrea's contest.

A superb entry for the contest Barbara. I have missed reading your wonderful poetry. I caught that cold/flu and have been knocked off my feet for the past three weeks. So good to be back reading poetry again!
