Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Quatrain

Love Is In the Air Tonight

Love is in the air tonight,
I can see it everywhere.
Butterflies and dragonflies
Flirt while kissing in mid-air.

The fireflies fly flashing.
And illuminate the night.
Children seeing, squeal with glee,
And move closer to the sight.

Love is in the air tonight,
I can hear it in the trees.
Bullfrogs sing; their dreams take flight.
And love calls cling to the breeze.

The wise old owl blinks her eye.
And whistles, Hoot-hoot, hoot, hoot!
She already loves her guy.
Three owlets have just said “Hoot.”

Love is in the air, tonight.
Can you feel it in your heart?
Children gather near, each night.
Familial loves then start.

My soul feels your spirit near.
Connected, cherished within.
I see love in your eyes, my dear.
You are where loves’ breaths begin.
