Madeline Eustice Poet Free verse

Autumn Night

The forest is filled with dancers,
Spinning through the air.
Twirling to their own tune,
Switching partners in seconds.

The light of the moon shines,
Brightening the forest clearing.
The dancers weave through the air,
Dancing without a care.

The girls are dressed in gold,
The boys in red and orange.
The band plays for everyone,
Keeping the dancers in time.

I watch from the outside,
The song dancing through me.
It fills me with sweet longing,
Wishing I could join in the dance.

Bright colors flash as they twirl,
Stopping when they touch the ground.
For now I'll stand in the shadows,
Watching the Autumn Fairies dance.
