Notes About The Poem

How to Convey Dance to Those Without Sight? All Hands On - The New York Times

DANCING BLIND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANCE FLOOR

DANCING BLIND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANCE FLOOR Bare footed on old linoleum floor Tapestry music engage my ears (I hear the distance) I see not but I’m placement mid-center Of a space placed vivid vibrations flairs (I feel the emptiness) I slowly spin around, I move to the music Even in the darkness I’ve rhythm (I smell the panoramic) My naked feet hear and feels the beat sweet I can see n mine spirit I dance with the light (I taste the air, I’ve inhaled, I sense the people stare) {I DANCE} As my naked feet, legs, tortoise whole body sprite moves as lighting-bugs in the night Centered in movement dance steps bright ViBrAtiOnS feels my steps are not sight Dancing Without Sight

Hello James, I enjoyed reading, my friend, but Poetry Soup doesn’t allow us to include anything within our poems. They prefer it to be placed in the note section. Could you remove it for me? ," 9/16/26 For Dancing Blind Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper " and place it in the note section.
