Dance With Me

Writing is dancing with words... a titillating tango with verbs delicious... a sultry waltz with rhythm and meter... a hot rumba with randy adjectives... a forbidden dance with unnamed nouns... if this has not left you wanting more then I shall dance with words no more. Poetry is a pure passion play of alliteration and words dancing in line, a quick-stepping, twin-tapping salsa, a seductive rhapsody in rhyme, moving metaphors, measure and time… my love is wrapped in this poetry so will you please come dance with me?

A kindred spirit I have found. Love all your poems. Especially like your form in this and Mountains. We address similar issues (e.g. Crematorium), light and darkness. High Regards, Mel

Reading this one, after seeing your comments on your "What Poetry Means to me" entry. Wow! A great rhythm combined with some lovely alliteration, which truly conveys your emotional connection! Truly epic and going onto my faves!! Regards, John.

Life is a rhapsody of thought you write with a mind twisting rhythm sounds good

Thanks luloo, this poem has evolved from a two-line ditty to the seven lines that first appeared on this site to the now 14 lines you see here. Writing, if nothing else, is fluid.
