- Tango - All Alone -

Melancholy sets in
    and twist easily
    around the joy that is stuck
    in the glue
    It's hard to dance tango - without a partner

So true! I love to watch all forms of ballroom dancing, but the beauty is lost with only one.

I love to watch a couple Tango and I have tried to dance alone. It doesn't work! I need a partner and my husband won't dance. I could totally relate to your fine poem. Blessings

Dear Anne-Lise, Yes, it is hard to tango without a partner, so perhaps we can just do solo ballet in our back yards. I can relate to this one. Very nicely done! Love, carolyn

"joy that is stuck in the glue" ... sticks in my mind....I like to see others dance the Tango, but ballroom dancing has never been a close friend of mine! what about twist...rock 'n roll...jive....:):) cu // paul
