Dance Footle Poems

Extremely Fractured Footles.

Grose art
Faint heart

Opening night
Stage fright

Break leg Superstition
Big Audition

Ballet dance
On toes prance

Gymnast Cartwheel
No big deal

Kill those roaches

Leroy
Cowboy

Rode horse
Of course

His hoss
Named Ross

Ropes steers
Slurps beers

Slouch hat
Flaunts gat

Wears boots
No suits

Eats beans
Wears jeans

Raised hell
Pell-mell

What's more
He swore

Has gal
Named Sal

To pub
For grub

They dance
Romance

They kiss
Pure bliss

Gets slopped
Fun stopped

Footles, as one, regarding Spring by Sandro Botticelli



Sandro
Does Know:

Venus-
Genus

Darkened,
Starkened

West wind
Chlore sinned;

Shrewd glance,
Now dance

Bough, her
Flower;

Three Grace
At base

Bypass
Time sass,

Laurels
Morals

Orange grove,
Bee soave;

Broody-
Nudie

Looks left,
Bereft,

Cupid,
Stupid

As love
Above

High arts,
Babe farts

Passion's
Rations.

For me
and thee

Your peace
my piece

Play pong
not wrong

Just ask
not bask

When I
tell why

Love sows
and grows

Even
not then

Noise rocks
and sucks

Round gongs
ding dongs

So now
somehow

Live now
not gnaw

Pray once
and dance

Minstrel
swing well

Up north

This world,
a stage
 
Our life,
a play
 
All men,
players
 
From birth
to death,
 
We play,
our part.
 
God up,
pulls strings.
 
You yield,
be glad.
 
Sometimes
life’s sad

You cry,
you sigh
 
Sometimes
merry

Bards brood
Thoughts crowd

Scenes flash
They dash

Words flow
In tow

They dance 
They prance

Ink spills
Heart stills

Verse born
Rhymes croon

Quill stills
Mind thrills

Pain dies
Dreams rise

Wounds healed 
Scars sealed

Bard thrives
Verse lives

 Sun set
behind

Shadows
stretched long

Night came
Bats screeched

Clouds drift
Moon smiles

Wind blows
Trees shake

Leaves drop
They dance

nose dive
fall down

rest limp
in mud

Snakes curl
in holes

Fog comes
veils night

Earth sleeps
quiet
