Dancing in White

~ written in a Monotetra form ~

~~~

A whisper breaks the silent night

as soft cascades, brilliant and bright

send shimmers of warm diamond light

dancing in white, dancing in white

 

 

Like falling stars just shooting by

lacy glitter lights up the sky

with such beauty to dress the eye

a tear may cry, a tear may cry

 

 

As the night sky begins to glow

a snow angel appears below

wings flutter in the fallen snow

a gorgeous show, a gorgeous show

 

 

And as she twirls in graceful stance

a melody sweet as romance

seems to play and to enhance

this lovely dance, this lovely dance

 

 

I catch my breath, but not with fright

as soft whispers create a sight

to send my heart this snowy night

dancing in white, dancing in white

This is superb! Perfect prosody for me and I so love it.
Now I have to google Monotetra. lol

Keep it up brilliant one!

[MsJewel]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. Monotetra is a poetry form that is quite easy - 4 line verses that rhyme, 8 syllables per line, the last line in the verse has 4 syllables repeated.
Have a beautiful day :) Julie
