Notes About The Poem

Andrea Dietrich Tank-A-crostic contest

Dance


Dare to shine brightly
Among wall flowers who sigh.
Nothing brings hearts as
Close as music and laughter
Everyone should dance with joy!

Wow this had some really great images. I got nitpicky on the word gambols being used as a noun. Otherwise this tanka would have slid up a notch or two on my list. Thanks for entering and congrats

Oh I thought I'd used it correctly but it was a new word for me. It can be used as a noun, apparently, but I may not have done so correctly. Oh well! I tried! Lol...ty for placing me at all... there were some great ones!! Xo

Ha! I'm a bit of a wallflower I confess, except when it comes to slow dancing. In my teens it wasn't cool to dance unless you were inebriated lol. Nice acrostic

Yay!! It's a lost art form I think... our generations are missing out of so much joy and connections not having those dance parties and everyone learning dances from an early age. Club dancing just isn't the same. And where I live there aren't any! <3 ty for coming by! Xo
