FESTIVALS

..............Songs..............
.........Ancient, modern.........
Uplifting, transporting, edifying
..They put a dance in your step..
..............Music..............

Iannou: That's very nice, and I like it; now can you try to put 'festivals' as the first word--that was the idea;-)

Oops! I didn't read the instructions properly.

This is going to require some re-thinking...

iannou said...

.........Festival.........
.......Music, dance.......
Picking, strumming, singing
.I hope the rain ends soon.
.......Extravaganza.......

Iannou: Good--but the fourth line is rather sad. I hope things improve;-)
