Time To Go Merry-Go-Round

You are in your prime, and I’m in my clime; Why sweetie in twenty then we waste this time? Come, dance; we can gently our pleasures hound, For here’s a time for us to go merry-go-round. Run around, and you’ll see how flowers bloom And drones fly around wanting for some room; Birds, herds, and all love while their time is high, So come sweetie; in delay, our prime will sigh. Moon smiles and night palls a velvet blue veil, And owls and curlews hail with a flirting tale; Xylophones and cymbals bounce for our dance, So come sweetie; let’s dive in a hypnotic trance.

Newton, a dizzying creation. This poem feels like a festival. A lot is happening, a circus, but it's perfectly you . Congratulations! Your style is unique!
