Poetry In Motion

Poetry in motion 
Take me out … the ballgame
bats and balls a'soaring
Root, toot, toot … the home team
'round the bases scoring.

Poetry in motion
Daddy and daughter dance
…hard to give her away
Wedding music magic
Dad won’t stand in your way.

Poetry in motion 
Maypole dance, oom pah pah
lads and lasses skip by 
braiding designs so grand
as colored ribbons fly

Poetry in motion 
At junior/senior proms.
guys and gals move in pairs
chaperones, keep on track -
moving round midst their cares.

Posted this before my son gave his daughter away last October 1, 2022...They did the typical slow waltz and then at the end broke into a rap modern-day dance that surprised the entire wedding crowd. My son is very reserved and practiced several times just to please his daughter...talk about motion!!
