POETRY IS A DANCE

                         Poetry is a dance of words and feelings,
                                  Bouncing off my inner ear;
                            Laughter, tears and joyous giggling
                           That only the writer's heart can hear,

                           A tension playing against life's strings,
                      Vibrating wildly to my soul's quickening pace;
                              Rushing, gushing, struggling to be
                               The first upon the mighty page.
