Notes About The Poem

Dancing On Treetops

Admiring foliage in autumn array, I lay in repose, gazing up at the view… I could not believe who was there on display! Was I seeing clearly? How could it be true? Up there on the treetops, she twirled in delight as leaves whirled below her, immersed in the fun. A blue stage had emptied as one belle in sight bedazzled the crowd like the rays of the sun! Adorned in her pointe shoes with hair flowing wild, she charmed inner child, this longing for free. Pure grace in white tutu drew widest of smiles… I’ll always remember when she danced for me.

This is wondrous, HT. Love it... Looking at Caren Krutsinger's 'November Twinkle Fairy' contest, I wonder if this sterling write could be tweaked just a hair to fit that contest... Just a thought; I don't want to or normally like to mess with 'perfection!' Warm wishes, Gershon

That was enchanting HT. What a wonderful interpretation of the image in the clouds. This one sung to me as I read it. Your rhythm and rhyme is superb in this. I loved everything about it. Beautifully done my friend.
