she was dancing aspen
he was mottled oak
she taught him how to tango
he trained her in folk
she was a wild strawberry
he was a hedgerow
she a teacher of colour
he taught her to grow

This is rather wonderful. The structure of the piece lends to its serenity. The dancing, the nature imagery and the romance gives this a Latin feel. One of those upbeat poems which also makes you think. I love it Bilbo. I'd delete the one comma though as it isn't needed in a piece which has no other punctuation (IMHO).

Hi, Billy!
Yes, it's wonderful. In some reason it left me sensation that all "was". And now things run the different way ... Great piece! R.Y.
