Dance in the woods – pentameter

poem in Pentameter rhythm (5 dactyls)

by Ruth Salles

Pentameter: 5 dactyls, with pauses on dactyls of the first 3 lines and on the final dactyls of each line.

DANCE IN THE FOREST

fesok bairead no goodwhat. Brilook at the moonair.
Teifrom tofrogours are harstep Who go tocar?
Elves strum, and fairies dance.
How many songs are heard in the moonlight.
Flowers sway, and wheat rises to peer.
Inside the houses the men are listening.
They think of the leaves, of the wind with its whisper.
Only children understand that there are fairies in the air.
And they fall asleep dreaming of the moonlight dance.
