- No Thanks I Do Not Want This Dance -

This is not a ballroom
 There is no dance for you tonight
 I'm not looking for love
 I'm looking for pleasure reading poetry
 Sharing my thoughts and words
 Listening and reading your words
 Wipe your tears and clean your wounds
 Share, the sun, the moon, the stars and the heaven
 Gives a bit of myself to you who are suffering
 It costs so little to me I give you comfort
 Behind the dark clouds the sky is always blue
 No orchestra plays for a dance
 My ball shoes are old and the dress too small
 Dance while you're young ...

 By the way...
 I will choose my own dance partner
 And I like to dance barefoot..... :)

Is that called a Norwegian jig? No shoes but a laughing joyful heart sung with a poet's flair. Allan

Hahaha!!! This made me laugh Anne! We're here to express and that maybe one of the reasons why others thought that they might find love here on Soup. They just fall out of love because of the expressive words we're sharing them. Great expressionism! You are such a poet, Anne! Thanks for giving time reading my pieces! Bless you my Souper-Friend! Love,love,love! :-) - Den

I'm not a very good dancer when it comes to the traditional forms, but then I think your ideas about the dance are far more interesting. A dating site? Well, good luck to them all, and I'm glad it isn't me... Jack

I enjoyed this scolding but delightful poem. Sometimes it's difficult to tell if someone is just being friendly or a little too flirty. Very creative and original. I hope I will always still be young enough to keep dancing !

A good reminder to Soupers. We share words, we share time......we appreciate each with sombre cherishment... we pursue our poetic dreams, pleasure without.....encrothing into another's liberty, interests! Others' "ball shoes are old and the dress now too small" for their bust. Thanks for being bold. You're a true champion for a silent lot. Friend, JM
