Bubbles float
close
chatters and bells
buzz
fade

Swish
my boots
slice
through green

Just the grass
sky
and me

I want to twirl
spin
sway
flit

leap

boots
sing out
to
the grass
sky
and me

I was walking back to class after a fire drill, and I suddenly felt the urge to twirl all by myself, with no one watching.

I love writing about what I'm feeling in the moment, when it doesn't have to mean anything.  I like it a lot!
