Steven Young Poet Free verse

Body Poetry

tonight
with musicians' girls
cute old ladies
pretty 'maidens'
gay, straight
who cares
everyone
needs to move
let your body
talk
live life 
live it a lot
a whole lot more
more today
than yesterday
tomorrow more
than the day before
and always dance
when you got the chance
what more can life be for 
dance the night away
dance it ALL away
morning comes
your hips are sore
and so happy that
you let 'em loose
our souls need some
body poetry

Steven Young September 2, 2022 at 10:19 AM She gets it... life doesn't stand still. Shuffling around looking for anything is better than giving up trying to find something.
