Memories - Dwm

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams. Jeremy Irons, English Actor _______________________
Oh I recall, the dances and the love crushes; at my high school on Saturdays, the waltzing was more of a shove. But the most fun was in the jumping and twirling, it was sort of a wild dance that sent us whirling; there was deep dipping and swirling, and the skirts were tight and sexy and the heels high. Whitney sang, and the colors were neon bright; hip hop was just around the corner, we were a bit too sexy for school kids. But, nothing bad really happened it was all show, the loudness of the music would just grow and grow; and it does not seem all that long ago, I can still his voice asking, "dance with me. ___________________________ March 2, 2020 Poetry/Free Verse/Memories Copyright Protected, ID 20-1232-563-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France DWM Contest Kim Rodrigues First Place

Thank you for this lovely trip down memory lane. I myself was not a dancer, but I recall the music and bright colors of the 80's. Congrats!
