Ballroom Dancer Heaven

Here on the dance floor ready to begin. My turquoise sequined gown just meets my shin. I love the feathered boa that encircles my neck. I look as stunning and bright as moonlight on a ships deck. And you, yes, you my Prince of Dance, so divine. With lifted, chin, suave hair,long tailed tuxedo and on your back, number nine. We will do each step, swirl with touching, utmost, regal elegance. And after we win the trophy, we happily shall indulge in divine decadence. February 4, 2020 3pm PST

I love to dance...I'm usually out on the dance floor every time my friends and I get together to watch our local bands. Of course, that's when I had a few beers in me and was feeling the rhythm (lol) Lovely write, Panagiota. I think one day I will take up ballroom dancing...I'm sure I'd have a ball :)

I love the romance of this work. It is so beautiful to move the body musically. Lovely poetry! Decadence galore! What the heck, life is for living to the fullest.

Thank you Joe for your comment and constant support. Live life to the full, just be dignified...Panagiota xx In parochial school, we were taught we were images of God. Let's act and celebrate that way. Panagiota xx

Lovely imagery of gracefulness, Panagiota. Love that you will be rewarded with a chocolate buffet. LOL

Line! But how did you know? Strawberries in melted chocolate? Such gracefulness in dance is needed more. Dancing that honors the best, not the worst in us elevates our souls! Thank you Line. You are one of my supporters here. You always corrected my form or typos by Soupmail with the same grace as a ballroom dancer. Love, Panagiota xx

Lindsay, I don't know if all countries see fine ballroom dancing, to which I was referring. They are all beautiful nobody has to expose their breasts, derrière or slide down a pole. It's the opposite if the sleaze and outrageous tweaking as were on display at the Super Bowl in the USA. Thank you dear Lindsay for commenting. Panagiota xx
