A Double Cleve
The Dryad by rosehill (Wendy)

the Dryad descends               fantasizing the feel of rain               her fingers unfurl

tempted from her tree             after dream-frozen decades           warming, they wiggle

piqued by the promise of         limbs waving at will                        flaunting their freedom

a spring saunter through         scents subtly swirling                     as slender sylvan arms meet

pollen-laden winds                   surrounding her head                     framing her face while

slowly savoring                        the feel of sun on flesh                   earth's music fills

a landscape become body      makes her giggle with glee             the swaying sylph;
    
able to bend in half                  leafy locks slowly rustling               she learns to dance

Author Notes
The double cleve is five poems in one. IT can be read as three separate, one-column poems. One continuous poem read as if the columns were stacked to create a poem with three stanzas, and horizontally, jumping from column to column as you read left to right.
