Come to the dance ...
We will dress in sunset colours, wisps of pink and gold and blue,
We will drape ourselves in leafshine, fragrant blossoms for our shoes
Come twirl a nosegay, swing your rosehips, sip a cocktail filled with dew
The best of us will join together: sun and moon and midnight too
The music will be waves a-washing, the sand performs a jazzy tune
Feast your senses, thrill to romance, shimmer as the day breaks through
Come fling your words at random stars, as we caper in the mood.
Join the Party at Willow Manor
Also for those dancing mannequins at Poets United

Yes, let's dance our heels off... this is going to be a marvelous time. So nice to meet you!! :)
I love your dance, Isabel! See you in the ballroom. The shining floor begs to be danced upon...
Puts me in the mood to go round and round all night! - Brendan
It was a pleasure meeting you!
I'm not sure I know what leafshine is, but I sure like the sound of it!
Meeting you in person? One of the highlights of the evening!!!
Isabel! This poem is beautiful and I must say you will give any poet in the room a run for his/her money. I will gladly sit out and rest next to you. And you must meet Clark... he does seem like more of a "meat & potatoes' man, but he is really quite interested in poetry... or maybe it gives him a chance to stop talking and take a drink and look at all the beautiful ladies in the room.. Either way, nice to finally meet you.
Sounds wonderful! Let's Go!
Until Sunrise - that's what I say!
Oh my, Isabel ... how very lovely a time you had ... so ethereal.
Lovely lines to pull me in.
Almost you tempt me - yeah, the leafshine does it! Beautiful phrases, beautiful use of words, beautiful lines.
yes, that sort of ball could attract me too.
sunset colours and waves and stars..Fairytale in motion. :)
This is so inviting, Isabel. We can all be as light as thistledown through your dancing words.

Beautiful! Thank you for making the Willow Manor Ball so enjoyable...
Hi Isabel, I thought I posted a comment last week from my phone but it didn't go through. This is delightful and some very original phrases.
Hope you had a grand time at the Ball (I missed it). Lovely words. "Leafshine" mmmmm...
Your poem is a sensual feast!
