Fleeting, crisp ballet

Fleeting, crisp ballet
on round, lillypad stage
crickets and fairies
intermingle, chat.

The moon in tie and cap
The Great Oak in sheath and crown
Ponder, as silent cruises of ants meander,
Donned in the excitement of fireflies.

Grasshoppers flit in twos
Cicadas hurrah in drone
And Nightingale descants
inviting all in Fest.

And I, enchanted,
Lean to for my first,
stolen kiss.
