- Tango - All Alone -

Melancholy sets in
    and twist easily
    around the joy that is stuck
    in the glue
    It's hard to dance tango - without a partner

I love to watch a couple Tango and I have tried to dance alone. It doesn't work! I need a partner and my husband won't dance. I could totally relate to your fine poem. Blessings

Dear Anne-Lise, Yes, it is hard to tango without a partner, so perhaps we can just do solo ballet in our back yards. I can relate to this one. Very nicely done! Love, carolyn
