Notes About The Poem

Life Is Like a May Pole

We weave our colors

throughout a world brightly hued

which turns with us too

round its never ending sun.

It’s OUR time to dance lively!



For the Syllables of Wisdom III Contest of Silent One

Thank you Andrea. I am trying to get back into the groove after losing so much ground wit my concussion and broken arm. I wasn't sure what was wanted when I wrote this so am lucky it did as well as it did. I thought yours was very well contrived also. Love, Joyce
