If I, lumbering bearlike onto your decorated stage

Discovered a beauty not needing to be saved

Yet brittle like a bird within a cage

I'm sorry, I did not mean it.

 

If you, waltzing by my ice-cold cave

Wakened in there this unpolished knave

Broken like a warrior near his grave

I'm sorry, I could not help it

 

If we, dancing forwards to different beat

On occasion step on one anothers' feet

Making either snarl or greet

Forgive me, and we'll work it

This is very good.  It's polished and balanced and has some good imagery - especially the bear, liked that.  The rhyming and repetition are used to good effect.

Thank you very much. It's one of those pieces I put on here for a keepsake, your comment makes me feel good about it.
