Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Desert Dancer

In the desert alone at night,

Stranded, I have lost track of time.

Then suddenly in the moonlight

Coming quickly toward me and I'm

Seeing lots of sand in a swirl,

Amid in colorful costume

Is a beautiful dancing girl,

Who is performing, I assume,

To give some pleasure to those who,

Like me, are stuck in a sad state.

For precious moments she does do

Take my mind off of my dire fate.

Most likely a mirage I see,

But such a lovely show for me.
