Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh Poet Free verse

Praise for the Plump Dancer

The fat rich man dances,
his body so heavy not light
breaking the rhythm.

Beautiful music set loud,
thumps through the hall -
bass pounds heavy.

Voices rise in praise,
cheering his moves.

Sara Kendrick April 27, 2026 at 4:31 AM I am wondering if you went to a dance and saw this, was it in a program on TV or in a movie. Great that those there cheered him on. I am delighted you turned it in a poem. Sara K Sara Kendrick May 2, 2026 at 3:59 AM Okay, thank you for letting me know.
