Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Last Dance

In her slippers danced two feet

     As bandaged toes and blisters

         Satin pink - with ribbons, laced

            Once prized by both her sisters

             Tried-n-true they saw her thru

            The grandest of those years

         And now they stay beside her

     As a dancing angel ... nears.

John Hamilton July 31, 2019 at 8:26 PM Hey I've had 1000 views no comments sometimes strange things happen, hey you get my soupmail...waiting! Gregory Richard Barden July 31, 2019 at 7:52 PM Ha! Perhaps ... in spirit, (she just got married again), though I wasn't thinking that at the time. Interesting you said that, though, our subconscious often does the steering. Thanks for commenting - I thought this was a beautiful little verse, but not a single comment until yours, (46 hits - not good percentages). Blessings, my friend! :o)
