Moon shadows
danced
a partnerless
waltz
As the sun
lay asleep
in its
cave
Sashaying
in place
to flirt
in the night
Spinning
and twirling
alone
on parade
To dance
until morning
when light
will emerge
And usher
them
into
the past
Where time
beats a
cadence
its metronome wound
With only
the
music
— to last

Lovely nature's romance comes to mind with this one. The images are great and the poetic lines refine them into literary music. Nicely done my friend
Thanks. I've always wanted to be a songwriter. The Berklee College of Music in Boston
is working at converting my poetry into song. They actually were auditioning for singers last
month.
Wow congratulations my friend. I too think that some of my poems would be much better with music and although I have played a few instruments I never was a song writer but sure would like to be. Music adds more power to the spoken word. Thanks so much for the read and comment my friend
My pleasure, as always.
Kurt, “partnerless waltz” is such a beautiful image. There’s something a little lonely in those shadows dancing by themselves, but they keep dancing anyway, right up until morning takes them. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
