Native Dance

Native Dance

Nighttime dancers
Turn and twist
A whirlwind
Firelight

Eagle soaring
Ride the draft
Bird of prey
In flight

Hear the rattles
Whispering
Desert sand
Flowing

Hear the drummers
Pounding hooves
Bison herd
Slowing

Warriors chanting
Scout and hunt
Silent stalk
The kill

Ride the whirlwind
Mane flowing
Nature's child
One will

Rett...

did you do your little thing here again?... because if you read the first line in every stanza together it comes out nice or the 2nd and so on.... seems to be four poems in one that fit very good together... or was it my jumbled mind playing tricks on me again? ... either way I loved this write and spent some time with it... thoroughly enjoyed it....

You get the gold star Richard

I was wondering if anyone would notice. Good job. Very very glad you enjoyed it and impressed that you spent time with it and discovered my little secret. Thank you. Respectfully, Rett: "If a fool and his money are soon parted, what does that say about the government bailout?" Rett

You really did not think that I would just say one thing did you? Ha! Went back and re-read the lines are all 4/3/3/2. Did that on purpose did you.... is it a named style or did you make it up? Patty

Rett

Actually Patty

I did that on purpose. I don't know if there is a name for it or not. Did you catch the rhyme pattern in it? *G* There is one. I call it minimalist but don't know if it is a real style or not. I like to experiment. Glad you liked it. Another interesting one I did and don't know if you read it was "Mother Natures Child" It is 2 complete poems melded together. if you read the first 4 lines of each stanza it is one poem. Read the last 4 lines of each stanza and it is another poem. Read it together and it is a poem. Just something interesting rhat I came on by accident. Respectfully, Rett: "Does this election remind you of The Emperors New Clothes? No one has the guts to tell him because..." Rett

I truly appreciate it Richard

Another read of it. I am honored. You might even give me a big head. Nah, there ain't no stretching this little pinhead into a big head. I only wear a six and seven eigths hat. I coulda been a genius if my head hadn't been so small. *ROTFLMAO* Respectfully, Rett: "Does this election remind you of The Emperors New Clothes? No one has the guts to tell him because..." Rett

Thanks easy

I appreciate it. I tend to experiment a lot as you can see. *LOL* Respectfully, Rett: "You want change? Let's elect a president and give him total power for a year. At the end of one year he is marched out into the middle of Reliant Stadium in Houston and locked in with 50,000 of the American people. Let them decide
