Dancing Flowers

We want to watch dancing flowers Locks up my mind for many hours Watch their rhythm, which way they sway Sets my mental path every day Catch those trips that spin round the sun Lots more twirls before they're done For luckless those whose music stops Flowers reel on like spinning tops Little fair in this scheme of things In random swirls of whirling rings Applause in darkness lets light show These dancers make enjoyment glow Look through the petals, see the shade Feel the difference they have made Were it only that we could see How beautiful all lives can be couplet 16 lines 103 words Colored Pencil & Ink illustration by G.Gaul
