DANCE
Dance, dance in the rhythm of moonlit nights
For time is young in hearts of thou and me
Petit, my waistline swerves under your sights
Milky way and morning dew ours be
Ride the waves this night upon open sea
As you dance me pulsing to skirt swirling
Nary a tango nor a waltz furling
Just twined hearts may carry such a passion
Of a night destined among the whirling
When stars twinkle only for this session

    I remember how night and dance merged together back in those heady days when I danced with a partner. This is lovely, Gillena!

    Oh, those days of our youth when nothing was impossible and the whole of life in front of us. This reminded me of my days at college totally free and fit as a flea! Thank you for that Gillena.

    I enjoyed the unfurling of your dance, Gillena, beneath stars that twinkle ‘only for this session’ – very special.

    How delightful in its romanticism! You have used the form well to create the feeling of dance and passion, with varied rhythms and lilting language (while staying within the constraints).
