Yellow stars
Scattered about
Nod hello
Inviting
Me to stop and watch them dance
Each day as I pass by
Shadorma
Yellow stars
Scattered about
Nod hello
Inviting
Me to stop and watch them dance
Each day as I pass by
Shadorma
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
Dreaming
Of warm soft breezes
Where colorful flowers
Dance to the sound of birdsong
Springtime
Cinquain
I am Miss Autumn
Dressed in vibrant colors
Creating crisp brisk breezes
Inviting leaves to dance
As maple trees clap
Their red and golden appendages
Beneath cloudy skies
And furry grey squirrels scamper
To gather the oak’s treasures
Choka
Were you a Pencil or a Poodle
Skirt fan, back in the days of rockn’roll?
Dancing slow with The Diamonds
Strolling in a pencil skirt,
Or swing’n the poodle skirt
Jitterbugging with
Bill Haley in your
Saddle shoes,
When teens
Danced.
Etheree
The time has come
May’s skirts rustle as she tiptoes
Through the dancing tulips
Sowing seeds of florescence
Carpeting the world with flowers
Tanka

Angels in euphoric dance
Swirl in the great expanse
Over the clouds so puffy white
Heavenly beings full of delight
Mom is there joining in with glee
Eighteen years this day, there went she
Left earth aged with all its pain and woe
And flew to heaven with hair white as snow
Now in restored youth, she rejoices there
Dancing joyously with angels upon the air
Con-Verse
( I wrote this poem with my mom in mind as 18 years ago today she left this earth and went to heaven. She was 85 years old and I like to imagine that today she is in restored health and dancing on air with angels, as she always loved to dance when here on earth.)
(This is my first time writing this Form called:
Con-Verse, created by Connie Marcum Wong, which consists of three or more 2-line rhyming stanzas (couplets). The meter of this form is in syllabic verse.
Rhyme scheme: aa,bb,cc,dd,ee
Meter: 7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11)
(Syllabic verse only counts the number of syllables in a line.)
(This form consists of three or more couplets which ascend by one syllable up to and until you reach a syllabic count of eleven which would contain ten lines.
This process may be repeated for a longer verse. If repeated, you must begin your first couplet with the syllabic count of seven again and continue from there.)

Theme: Dancing on Air
Word Prompts:
Euphoric, Dance, In the clouds, Delight, Joy
Dancing in the sun
We spent summer days together
What a pair we made.
Haiku
Roses and Daisies
Dancing with the warm breezes
Shades of blue sky

Flower in full bloom
Dancing in the summer breeze
Shared its fragrance
