David Mohn Poet Quintain (English)

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.
