Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Tanka

Summer's Dance

A stolen moment  
held in a kindled embrace
our eyes chased the night
as the band played Sea of Love
summer's dance over too soon

lingering moments
in an amorous embrace
our eyes seek the dawn
as the band plays You and I
dance partners for all seasons


By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders

Second Place in Susan Burch's Little Viewed Jewels contest
