One, two, three,
Fluid, twirl, free,
One, two, three,
Pastels, birds, marquee.
One, two, three,
The dance of jubilee,
One, two, three,
Twirl again, carefree!
One, two, three,
Press closer to me,
One, two, three,
Hearts beating in a flurry... uh oh...
---
Enchanting, the waltz may be,
Spinning with your devotee,
Remember to keep your head steady,
Or you'll end up very dizzy!

A/N: Another dance poem for your consideration! I felt the repetition of 'one, two, three' was essential for a poem about the waltz. I also tried to keep that rhythm in the other lines with the exception of the final verse. I hope reading this felt like waltzing the night away! Though, I did have to include a shout-out to those of us who get motion sickness!!
As I write this note, I am one hour away from my internal ultrasound scan that will diagnose exactly what has been happening inside my womb. I am really hoping for good news! I will keep you all updated <3

Lol... funny enough I know how to waltz *a little bit.* I imagined me dancing as I read your poem and the imagery was awesome and fun. I thank you!
I really got that one two three movement. Hope you got some positive news.
I almost got dizzy reading this! Absolutely awesome poem!!
Love that you kept it rhyming until the POV got dizzy!! π This was another fun add to your dancing series you've got going!! π Best of luck with your ultra sound!!! π₯°
Yes, I especially loved that repetition. I hope everything goes well for your scan. Do keep us updated
I like this. Reading it felt like a dance, which I assume is exactly the point. Well done.
Ah, this is a blissful bit of a waltz. Love how it feels like the graceful eloquence of a waltz.You definitely captured the spirit - daaaahling (worst Craig impression lol) Well done and like Rob, hope the scan goes okay and gives you some direction towards treatment etc.
One, two, three . . . your poem flows quite perfectly! Well done, TWW! I hope all goes well with your ultrasound visit.
