Premium MemberDay of the Dead Couples Dance

we knew at dusk that the day of the dead was officially on fire
a skeleton couple rose up from two different pyres
the audience was startled in place as they began to dance
they were soon surrounded by lookers, Old Emma and Lance

They had been married over sixty-two years, one onlooker said
It was a fine evening to watch them, on the Day of the Dead
They did the tango, the Watutsi, and a chicken dance too
Their keen dancing did not stop until a quarter after two

They were best friends in life, we knew they’d be back
This was said by Lance’s best man, he called himself Mack
My wife is gone too, but she does not dance any more.
We felt sorry for him, we could see he was sad at his core.

Premium Memberwatching the fey dance

cattails at the fishing pond
mark the hill the brownies live on
in the morning, they dance in the dew
there are many here, more than a few

macarena is danced by gnomes and faeries
elves brought back a tango from Buenos Aires
levity of morning lights mood for the afternoon
the bullfrogs are the only ones out of tune

Premium MemberDancing with a Non Alpha Wolf

her auburn hair spins out as she flails around the studio
dancing with the largest of the wolves, because she can
wild knows wild, and they are definitely both earth animals
The he-wolf is not the alpha, but a mighty fine dancer
His enormous legs are prancing during this tango

They circle each other with light steps, not making eye contact
Both have amber eyes, his are huge, with deep brown centers
Hers have touches of silver and green in the corners
The audience holds their breath, waiting for the finale
Hoping it will not involve teeth or blood or death


Premium Memberintensity of the tango

Intensity of their stares should melt the room
My skin is nearly on fire as I watch
This couple beat sensual and tense an hour ago
I have never seen anything like this before
And probably won’t again

Premium MemberAlways and Ever

I knew that from the first moments we met We ‘d be together, till life's sunset In face of adversity our love thrived Love overcomes wounding, razor-sharp vibes. We have danced through romance with vibrancy Overcoming issues, not meant to be Trusting the care of our shepherd above To show the way, in the light of true love. So it came to pass, romance stayed alive You and me standing by each others side Dance the last tango with me dear darling You will always remain my Prince Charming. Ever together in love, you and me That’s the way it was always meant to be.

Premium MemberTwo to Tango

Premium MemberREADING, DANCING, WRITING

Crime mysteries get me engrossed, be carried away,
forget the time, get me wide awake, keep me on my
toes that I just read and read through the night or day.

Dance makes me groove and show off my graceful  move.
Slow tempo with flow for waltz, fast for swing, so is salsa, apply
medium beat for tango, slow for ballad, light on the feet to improve.

I heard a still voice in my reflective thought that I ought to write
word of encouragement to lift spirits, realized I have a gift and by
and by I was writing poems and writing my feelings out is all right.

Premium MemberLet Us Dance All Day

    Let my face reflect the rising sun
       its expression beam radiant rays

    Let my eyes glisten like the morning dew
       my cheeks rosy-red at the thought of you

    Let my arms reach out as do limbs of trees
       May my embrace comfort as the gentle breeze

    Take my hand, my love, let us dance all day
       ~ unchoreographed tango for two as we sway

Premium MemberSister Moonlight

Sister Moonlight in your glass slippers 

Come dance with me amongst the stars

We'll Pirouette by both the Dippers

And do the Waltz in front of Mars

Let's Swing around each constellation 

Then Two-Step watching new stars born

We'll Hip Hop with no hesitation 

And do the Tango till the morn

Oh Sister Moonlight hear my song

Reflecting all my words of love

We can sleep in peace all day long

Then dance amongst the stars above

Premium MemberLet's Tango

Fragrance night, spicy Breeze tangoes near tomorrow to green world stage raves Howling blues stir lilac dark Starlight, whistling in the park Clouds keep on drifting in times of vanishing moon It's nature's wild dance a sultry summer tango when super moon turns mango
