Short Sonnet

This is sonnet I wrote that goes along quite nicely with my Short Story #2 Ahem....

Twirling dresses spiral about

Partners prancing hand in hand

Weaving, gliding in and out

Then so quietly, we all stand

I saunter to the back of the room

Staring silently at people’s feet

The soon to be bride and soon to be groom

In the middle of the floor chance to meet

The masks hide them in a disguise

The sun has started to sink

You can tell by the look in their eyes

What each one of them has begun to think

The boy thinks thoughts of her blushing red

Her eyes glint in the limited light

The girl thinks of being wed

He reaches over and holds her tight

Her eyes travel up to meet his gaze

He takes her out to start a dance

The night went by in a wonderful haze

Everyone could tell it was love at first glance

They danced and spun all the night

Everything was perfect and right
