The Poet's Lonely Waltz

Under cracked ceilings and calloused hands My pen does a waltz to invisible bands A clever allegro and ink covers white A lithe ballerina on premiere night The bare floor is spattered With the pattering feet Of my words wooing rhythm 'til the page is complete Watch this step, read this twirl! And with a tip of my pen A new line is born in verse... And again!

Yes, a poetic dance in vibrant words and lines! Poetry is truly a dance on the page, and poems are "born" like conceptions of the mind. Love the vivid images here.
