                   - Even darkness shines in a dance with butterfly wings - quote by poet

                                                         She dances in the dark
                                                 expressing passionate emotions
                                                          Through movement
                                                       with a partner or alone

                                             Dance gives her a sense of belonging
                                                        stimulates socializing
                                                   A bridge between the visible
                                                        and the invisible world

                                                  As humans, we are equipped with
                                                         a wide range of passion
                                            regardless of whether you are blind or not
                                                Dance serves as a delightful sanctuary

Valsa George September 8, 2026 at 11:21 PM Now I realize, the comment I posted here didn't go. So sad. Yes, dancing is a stress buster and an enjoyable exercise. Though one is blind, he/she can always dance to the rhythm of music. Well written dear Anne. Love and hugs

sara Etgen-Baker September 6, 2026 at 4:18 PM ahhh, the last line says it all! Well done, Anne-Lise. Faving.

Evelyn Judy Buehler September 6, 2026 at 4:06 PM Anne-Lise, both the message of this poem and the way it was rendered, are so beautiful! The arts do have a way of allowing people to communicate, and experience-heart to heart. The picture is wonderful, too. 😊

Sotto Poet September 6, 2026 at 12:29 PM Anne-Lise, your great poem beautifully captures the essence of dance and its power to connect us with deeper emotions and the world around us. It conveys the idea of dance as both a personal and social experience, offering a sense of belonging and expression beyond words. The imagery of dance as a bridge to the invisible world is especially evocative. Great work!

Hiya Sharma September 6, 2026 at 5:55 AM Awwwn this is such a gorgeous take on the prompt! I've been thinking of writing for this one too, but the way you've inekd this just warms my heart, sweet Anne-Lise.. blind are the ones who can't see the light even with their eyes open! Who do not wish to embrace the warmth that welcomes them in its arms! Darkness is not really blindness and the way you've depicted this just reflects how deep of a soul you have.. absolutely breathtaking, everything about this! Soulful And divine! Loved reading this poetic pulse! Best wishes for the contest, you have an angelic heart, Keep shininnnn and writinnnn, Huggssszzzz 🫂🫂🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🌙🌙 a fave ~ Anne-Lise Andresen September 6, 2026 at 6:04 AM - The nicest comment I've ever received, Hiya :) - Deeply touched my heart :) - Thank you very much 😍 - hugs
