Took a second glance 
at a possible...

TAKE A SPIN IN CRINOLINE

Do you tango?
Do you dance a lot, 
my Sir Lancelot?
Do you cha-cha?
And like me you sure are hot?\

Do you Lindy Hop?
Do you slow dance?
And does dancing make your champagne...

I went to a monster party,
At Castle Frankenstein;
With lots of food and spirit,

I could just dance all night long,
moving my body, feeling the music,
feeling the beat, the rhythm.

fills up my senses, makes me...

Tentative Dancer

Do I choose to join, this Poetic Dance
To reveal my soul, to take this chance

The ballroom looked inviting
as I stood at the entrance door
the lights were brightly shining
from the ceiling to the floor

The music filled the air
as couples danced the waltz
all men looked debonair
in their well made tuxedos

 The circumstance made us take a chance
 And we enrolled for ballroom lessons.. (sweet)

Accordion, keyboard for the Highland Fling
Bell, an idiophone in percussion sing

Clarinet, of woodwind joys
Drums, so loud for the noisiest of boys

Fiddle, of old in toe tapping increase

Guitar, my favourite...

But it’s a fine soiree; a low rent way to have it all.
We’ll close our eyes and hum a tune, it’s one we’ll just make up,
And dub...

There is
no truth called
A coincidence,
because
all of life is
coincidental
that means
we are each known

This means
you are each so
coincidental with me.
