Lone Bass Man keeps the beat
Dancers waltz // music flows sweet
One, two, three // one, two, three
Mellow strings
Melody carries them
Floating high in the hall
Beat goes on
Light steps move // paired as one
Blue Danube
flows gently in their ears
The notes stop // curtsies // bows
The bass man packs it up
He never gets to dance
Lone Bass Man Painting: Dwight L. Roth
Today at d’Verse Bjorn asked us to look at the beat in poetry. He asked us to write a poem with the three-beat rhythm of the Waltz.
