Life Is Like a Maypole

Grab a hold and take a spin You destiny shall begin Hang on tight With all your might You’ll want to reach The very end Pick any color you desire Red, yellow, pink or even saffire The pink ribbon sends you flying high The blue and yellow can’t touch the sky The dance will begin And as you spin Your color will entwine With other colors of your life to make it so devine. You will laugh and spin And do it again You will fall and cry And wonder why Your life is like a maypole A dance with colors of the sky This wonderful dance of colors Entwined with all the others Is a journey that you must begin Until you reach the very end 02/08/2015

Never danced around the maypole but have hit the floor with some mighty fine ladies in my time. And each one was a jewel to behold , dressed so very fine! Excellently crafted write my friend. A solid 7 from me..

Dont worry janet it is probably because I posted my comment when you were replying to Dorian and it jumps up to the next post. Simply go to your 'my outboxes' section and you can delete the comments in the wrong place. What i do is 'cut' the comment - got to my out box and delete it then go back to the poem and 'paste' it in the right box:-) Hugs jan xx
