Mardi Gras En Force

Poetry is more than words
it is song
music
and beat
a movement
of dance
of jigs
spins and reels
old and new
coming together
rhyme and meter
of voice 
a passion so deep
in language not understood
but felt
breath funnelled 
through instruments
evoking sounds
through hands and feet
Rock n Roll moves 
operatically
through ears to heart
hips mardi gras en force
from them to us
and in between 
a party begins

(Inspired by the notion that every conversation is not just one of words)
