Dancing Words

As to poems with cadent feet,		
in tapping to an old-style pace,		
the pulsing verses gladly meet,		
and forward line by line advance,		
with elegance and charming grace,		
through steps of iamb and trochee,			
to show a love, make sadness flee,			
or send a message and seed sow			
with voice that sets a poet free	
across the seas where the winds blow
