Notes About The Poem

         Swap Quatrain Posted 12 August 2023

Vivacious

She flits around the room like a butterfly.
Gorgeous and vivacious that’s my girl going by.
All across the floor dress up clothes are strewn.
Like a butterfly she flits around the room.

She lights up the place with her infectious smile.
Never in one place for more than a short while. 
She’s our dream come true, such a pretty face.
With her infectious smile she lights up the place

The sun shines brighter when she is around.
She comes running to show me what she’s found.
A smooth shiny rock or a ladybug to delight her.
When she is around the sun shines brighter.

Whenever she dances her little fingers wiggle.
She finds so many things funny, her cute little giggle.
The cuter she gets the more our life enhances.
Her little fingers wiggle whenever she dances.

She is so full of life our spirited, happy little elf.
When she paints a picture, she also paints herself.
She is a blessing from God for me and my wife.
Our spirited, happy little elf, she is so full of life.
