River Dance - Manassian Quintain

With just a swirl, she flirts with you- brash churlish curves in surly sway. At morning’s blush with mist infused; her dress unfurls in rose tinged gray. She flirts with you in surly sway. In midday sun, her tresses – teal, slyly tossed from bend to bend. She wakes in you, a puerile zeal, with every wink her cascades lend. A puerile zeal, from bend to bend. A pas de deux, to you she bids, in undulating moonlit swells. Pied pirouettes - charmed hearts amid; immerse your soul to feel the spell… To you she bids, to feel the spell. Manassian Quintain - Poetry Contest 11 Jan 2015
