These Shoes Were Made For Dancing

As the music began, he bowed before her, fingers outstretched, palm up. Rising to her feet, she placed her hand in his, feather-light. As they danced, her lemon-yellow shoes spun a blur of joy in motion. Round and round the floor, they whirled, eyes locked together, hearts beating in rhythm. He, in town after town, forever haunts dance halls searching for the girl in yellow shoes longing for one more dance. cfa© 7/10/2014 revised 9/13/2014 cfa

Thank you, RAJAT. I wrote it in answer to a call for a poem using the word "Yellow." It didn't win the contest, but it's always good to have a new poem. Glad you liked it.
