Movement

Carpe Diem #594 -movement prompt

ankle chimes
listen to the movement
of the young dancer


© Chèvrefeuille

harmonica blues
she dances on chubby legs
spilling laughter



sunlight shimmers
leaf shadows dance
upon your head



My two grandchildren have always loved music from phantom of the opera.  Even as babies one would shake and move in his high chair, the other would hang on to the TV stand and bounce.  Now Now five and three, they quickly hold hands when the music stars and at brief intervals between rushing around the room.  Oh! what energy.


hands held briefly
Phantom of the Opera
grandchildren whirl
