Polkadot Polka

Polkadot Polka Tumbling, whirling, smiling, swirling – A riot of laughter – orderly rows well crafted. Swaying, dancing, toe tapping, prancing – Rainbows of color –freckles in technicolor. Jumping, leaping, playing not creeping – Like leap frog, per chance – a spinning top dance? Glistening, glimmering, sparkling, shimmering - Not hidden from sight – bright points of light. Grinning, giggling, bouncing, wiggling – Perfect circles smiling – can’t help styling. Tiny, small, big but not tall – Sometimes gigantic – known for their antics.

I am so glad you enjoyed this poem. Thank you, as always, for your supportive messages. So appreciated. Was really happy with the movement in this poem - and the fun - the invitation to put on our dancing shoes and take a twirl around the dance floor! After all this sitting I definitely need the exercise!

Greetings Greg! So glad you had fun with this poem. Yes, the format is different. As I mentioned to Ann it took me awhile to put words to the Polka! Save me a spin around the dance floor!

Many thanks Ann! It took me awhile to conjure up images of polkadots dancing then add the words, but it was a fun dance. Be safe and well. Take a little spin around your garden! Blessings and hugs!

Just put on your dancing shoes and take a turn around the living room. I don't think anyone will see your dance to your music! Thank you Paula. Enjoyed writing this rollicking rhyme!

These wonderful words just trip off your pen (reminding me of your rain poem 'And We Call It') in such a playful way, perfect for describing polka dots. I love "Rainbows of color –freckles in technicolor". Your fun writes are really helping me through this pandemic, Sam. Muchas gracias ~ John

Hi John, what a lovely message! Yes, this is a little like And We Call It. For me raindrops and polkadots are just plain fun. I wanted to convey that whimsy. Thank you for letting me know this lifted your spirits in this chaos! You are welcome! This was a fun write!
