Short Ballroom Poems

In Ballroom,

No balls to roll,

But,

Rock and roll!...

Beneath low moonlight,
Lustrous dolphins start to dance:
Grand ocean ballroom....

Ballroom dance on stilts
Earth‘s crust we’re dancing on tilts
Blowing up our kilts...

i just let the pen dance with my hand
on a parchment ballroom floor....

I dance in my house, ballroom, and red floor
I swing, hip hop, fiercely slam…
But I’m good at none, zilch

the ballroom dancers
                     pirouette like tornado
                        divinely waltzing

Ballroom dancing
Big bands, Hollywood glam
Chiffon decorated dance floor
Men were gentlemen, women were ladies
Decent formality
And etiquette

Casual glances at ballroom dances
  an eyebrow raised, a bare shoulder appraised

Mask passions profound 'neath waves of sound
  on alabaster marble hunting grounds...

Wind whispered to trees
Come dear leaves slow dance with me
In your colored tapestry
We'll strut on the ground
It will be a ballroom show
Dancing until winter snow

Softly plays the breeze
across stems,
petals dance in ecstasy
at its caress.
Nodding heads 
bow to each other
in perfectly choreographed
unison
as nature’s ballroom
hosts
the waltz of the wildflowers....

    A broom is a flight of fancy
      at the witching hour
    A machine gun uncased
      in peril, it’s power

    Waltzing Matilda
      on the ballroom floor
    Sweeps me away
      ~ with so much more

Sugar plum fairies dance in their
Heads while they dance the dances
On ballroom pillows. Princes hold tiny
Princess hands while they twirl and dip.
The music rising, rising, ever so
Softly up to the top of the chapel....

A
Pair of
Glitter shoes
Match my red dress
Outfit for old year
Dazzling in the ballroom
Until one of them was left
In five star hotel step ladder
Gave away chance to meet charming prince

My dear, have no fear,
For we shall all cheer.
Your perambulations and oscillations
Shall rouse the nations.
Their national anthems played.
The judges' scores displayed.
Remember it is only a dance,
So give it a chance!...

Spiritual magic 
Dancing lightly
Dream State Ballroom

Formally formal
Gliding gracefully
Waltzing and bowing

Eyes flutter 
Not quite closed
Slipping into abyss

Sandman magic
Whistling softly
To not disturb dreamer...

Number Four

It takes one to know one, I'm sure you'd agree
As it takes two to tango on a grand ballroom floor
I've heard it's a crowd when the digit hits three
So you really must go now, as your number is four!

I have some trembling hands;
   I can scarcely type a word.
   The Age of Pessimism has passed
   Like the sweeping dress of a ballroom dancer
   From another passed time,
   So we find ourselves in the
   Age of the Vague and Fearful....

how it is on the floor of dance,
the touching feeling sweet romance,
disturbing of the slumbering lance,
will he go too far this time,
perchance,
the question keeps arising...

Ballroom, lit and bright
Lighted Christmas tree
Men in suits and hats
Ladies dressed in gowns
All beaming with smiles

Festive feeling
Warm hugs, greetings
Mood for dancing
Gentle touches

Band playing
Singer’s voice
Talks, laughter

Perfume
Cologne

Mint

A swift half of cider in the Bodega bar
sadly none of us could afford a car.
Dropping a shilling in  the snug juke box
Haley and Elvis,then so unorthodox

Trad jazz with Donegan,Bilk or Collier 
no ballroom bacchanalia
Skip,hip-hop style jive 
50's music had come alive...

Headlights cleave
Thin vapoured weave
Hotblack top
Cooked and stopped

Slice through air
Tendrilled hair
Steamy swirling
Ballroom whirling
Sweaty, surged, pressed
Hard-nosed crest

Closing behind
All but forgotten
Red-light gleam
Dimming, dimming
Weather’s dream...

I think it wuz the warmth 
     uv her hamstring 
           or maybe 
         her tilt back
     and mine nervous
