My first poem to appear on Elfwood is not that great. It's inspired by the song, whose name it shares.

The mad flying dance
In the dead of the night
Bleached bones swing a-rattling
Drenched in cold moonlight

They rise in celebration
In pure jubilation
To show how fun death can be

But the sun is now rising,
Dawn doing its job
The bones whisk away
Ending the Danse-Macabre

*first comment dance* Very interesting! The title alone made me want to read it. Lovely, very lovely! Well this convinces me to go read your other works but I shall read it later since I don't have time. Good job!

Lovely! Oh how I love this poem! It reminds me of my childhood... Wow, morbid childhood much? lol, no, but my favorite book growing up was Scary Stories 3, and at the end of the book was a skeleton in a top hat "dancing" and the lyrical theme of what it was "singing" is very similar to this. Different, of course, but this just reminds me of that fond memory...Sorry, I got on a bit of a ramble there. Amazing poem! Nothing I can think to change it, it is just perfect.
Cheers

Very cool! I like the feeling of joy in it, this one makes me oddly happy for some reason... ^.^
