Pas De Deux

Two dancers in sync We were made for each other But you're sick with the drink Twisting and turning Our steps I do trace I am locked here alone In this stoic embrace. 17.04.09 Composed for Charlotte Jade Puddifoot's Open Poetry Contest 2

A lovely poem and title, Maureen. Side by side, one is awake and the other rest, still together in sync. Picture perfect imagery ... stoic embrace. Elegantly plain spoken poetry. A 7 for offering this rich treat. Love and hugs.

The author pours out her soul, and paints her words with pathos and emotion. Emile.

...so does the author with a flip of a coin as to whether or not she is glad anyone is listening.
