Best Square Dance Poems
Square Dance Skillet
God's greenest, avocados, sliced in a bright red ceramic bowl
Mix them with eggs and they dance with exuberant cowboy soul!
Ever observe them twirling in that griddle?
It indeed takes a Poet to see them do the "allemand left"right in the middle,
to the sounds of a fiddle!

Rna's Square DanceEarth's soul, Her soil
His fuel, Her Sun
His blood, Her baptismal water
Her SkyGod fills each copulating breath
upon Her bilateral lightwhite/dualdark skin
of self-regenerating ecoconsciousness,
where God's super-eco logic
double-binds Time's bilateral evolving light
now-present primal balance

End of Square DanceEchoing though out the might
Distinct songs fill the electrical air
Chords of varying tones dance around the guests
Bagpipes play melodic tones rich and smooth
Mystical rhythms and beats all of its own
Feet tapping as the music takes hold and stirs the souls
Waiting for the music to command...

Square Dance Patter SayingsBow to the partner in the corner
Hey, this dance ain't nothin' but torture!
Heads lean left and circle to a line
Guzzle down that old moonshine!
Roll away to a half sashay
Get down on your knees and pray.
Circle round and round with the dear little thing
but for God's...

Is there any romance in a Square Dance
Here we go, all start with a left grand.
Apples in pies and peaches are canned.
Lost my partner waddle I do?
Single file promenade they’ll be back to you.
Flies in the buttermilk shoo fly shoo.
Sashay back to your darlin waitin for you.
Don’t hold her...

Square Dance Patter Splatter - crudeFor yer supper, vindaloo,
hop to the music doing a poo,
toilets are crowded, yer tummy is mush,
bang the doors and plead with 'em, 'Rush.'
Drop yer pants and let it go,
paper's all gone (but yet you don't know),
fearing the soap is now missing too, yes?
Well, jus' saying...You're...

Squaring The Circle - Square DanceWho said life was going to be fair?
Come on, let’s make this circle square,
Poor as church mice, bolder than brass,
Circle right then show me the cash.
We'll keep it underneath your hat,
But there’s no room to swing a cat,
They say the best in life is free,
So...

Strange Square DanceAt first, they start slow. Then they go faster,
carefully avoiding every disaster.
It's kaleidoscopic insanity.
It's precision, well-ordered inanity.
Some of them whistle, but all of them prance
when the four-sided people go out to square dance....

Alligator Sashay, UnabridgedCircle left, hang on tight
Don't get caught in an alligator bite
Allemande left, what you want to do
Is turn that alligator into stew
Do-si-do, listen to the band
Alligator shoes look mighty grand
Roll away to a half sashay
If you're a gator, forget what I say
Right and left grand,...

Raining in Summer, square dancing"Join hands, circle left, let’s begin this song,"
In the valley where Flatirons stand strong.
A Chautauqua garden, where joy takes root,
Square dancers gather in plaid and boots.
Men in white hats, spurs that gleam bright,
Women in flowing skirts, a colorful sight.
"Allemande...
