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

Premium Member petrified balls

His building plans as seen on zoom
Resemble an old Pharoah’s tomb
Though Epstein is dead
Jeffrey's king-sized bed
Makes a grand stage for Trump's ballroom

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

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

We see how this narcissist gloats
D.T. needs M.D.s who take notes
They say he is mad
And Trump's ballroom pad
Should be staffed by men in white coats

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

Waltz of the Wildflowers

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.

Premium Member A Broom is a Flight of Fancy

    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

The Dance

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.

Premium Member Glitter Shoes

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

Premium Member International Dance Competition

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

Blond blue eyed or black with brown
Ebony shoes matching ballroom gown 
A delicious laugh and vexing green frown
Uniquely pretty from a small teal town
Tender hearted not a nicer soul around
Yellow star shines like her so profound

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!

The Age of the Vague and Fearful

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.

Disturbing Dance

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... Don Johnson re : "A Risque Ballroom Dance" Anne Currin

Parlor piano meets ballroom
I consume the melody that carries me
Adrift my heart on a summer breeze
Night shadows mimic musical enchantment
Onyx skies showcasing moonlit dancers

Ah! Here sashays the pouty Miss Scarlett O’Hara,
the Southern belle bombshell of Tara.
The center of hoop-skirted ballroom attention,
she bosses and causes her beaux hypertension.

Premium Member Jukebox Jive

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

After the Shower

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
