Dance For Me

Don’t Turn around
I need you to see,
I want all around
not to fear or flee 


I lit up the moon 
in phases for you,
at full it blazes
my feelings true


animals dance
as I conduct the moon,
and ripples of music
encompass to spoon 


A foxtrotting duck
that looks like a loon,
makes me roll
all around the room


the waltzing walrus
shakes the earth,
and with ballet slippers
mice shake my girth


now you see?
I said not to turn around,
I wanted to hear
your laughter resound

Surely the witty images you describe would make anyone want to turn around, but I love the way you chide them at the end for doing just that. Oops, couldn't help myself? I peeped! Very nice! Best wishes, Carolyn
