Reversal Ii
A boy can dance
Boy can he dance
Can dance and sing
Dance free of string
Effortless float
Free like a note
Gain loft, soar swift
His feet adrift
Inspiration
Just elation
Kissing his true love.
Love by her spurned
Mocked, badly burned!
No other thing,
Other act brings
Predicament
Quite fiendish sent
Reverses love
Sensation of,
To feel rejection
Utter dejection
Vengence directed
Withering invective
Xyloid, woody,
Youthful feelings gone,
Zeal for love dare again spawn?
