First Dance Footle

first dance
deep trance

love young
just sprung

controlled 
untold

one day
in May

from sir
fresh fleur

So many emotions in so few words... a challenging form but so nicely rendered. I like the last 2 lines best. Congrats for your POTD!

JCB, you have packed so much lovely meaning into these few syllables. Footles are a real challenge for me; you make them LOOK easy! CONGRATS, well-deserved. Janice
