Dancing the Unicorn

Where fancy's flowers bloom, I go, and music starts to play. And when sweet words of beauty flow, I dip and and weave and sway. . . Then comes a white horse, my delight, so I'll not be forlorn. In step with him, I freely write. I dance the unicorn.

Thanks for dropping by, old friend. I went way back for this one and found that you have always been first rate with your poetry. I can't seem to get any inspiration these days and rather than write poor stuff I'll be satisfied with commenting for a while. Love, daver

Interesting title, Andrea, followed up by your usual flare of words and ideas.:) Beautiful visions to start the day with. Oh, thank you! Have always loved the unicorn, an unbeliever had said that the remains found had been that of a narwhale. I think that he'd lucked out on creativity and imagination.:) You "dance the unicorn" beautifully here. Best wishes, Mikki

Is the unicorn a new dance step? Or are you using the image as a metaphor for imagination? Peace & Love Matthew Anish

NOW ANDREA! i think I've warned you before, BUT, just in case...here goes....""IT is perfectly normal to dance with unicorns....but never....I repeat NEVER ever ever ever....play leapfrog with a unicorn!" It ends up being a real pain in the ASS-pirin ....every dang gone dagum time!!!!! BTW ...I love the poem. Any poem that evokes memories, visuals, thoughts, or basically any good vibe...I DIGG! and I dig you as well. Sorry I don't read many blogs...I should, and I will try. Missed ya tho'!
