Beautiful music warms my cochlea
Awesome footwork amuse my cornea
The spectacle dazzle my cerebrum
Oh splendid scenery,feed my Organs...

The once was a man from Dunkirk.
The war came and he went berserk.
In the French battle field,
Local harlots did yield.
Escape came by fancy footwork.

Everybody makes boobies,
Put our big feet in it,
Just some clumsy footwork
And we find ourselves in a pit.

Everybody makes boobies,
Everybody makes mistakes,
When shooting our life’s film,
There is bound to be out-takes.

Dainty toes glide on the floor
Displaying  pas de deux;
Dash of ballet enthralls…
Dancers leaping mid-air
Delightful footwork swirls.
Dame and partner blend turns
Dazzling from crowd’s applause!

they buzzed, I slapped
bob and weave, cover up
cook out “rope-a-dope”

three beers, no one cares
you spot ‘em, I’ll swat ‘em
fire pit footwork

bug fogger, super power
last gasp for bugs
also killed the flowers

Sparring With Pain
Written: by Tom Wright
10-21-2016

Entering each day’s fight I’ve total disdain,
The fighter I face uses the moniker, pain,
I hook and jab endeavoring to stay on top.
His presence I may slow but rarely can stop.

I’ve tried to drug him but that didn’t work,
So I’ve reached a conclusion that’s quite sage.
It hasn’t been ring savvy, grit, or footwork,
Pain unmasked revealed my true foe was Age.

Dips and TURNS are all part
     Delicate footwork too
Dedication a must . . .
        Daily  l o n g  rehearsals
D i z z y  spinning is fun
    Difficult leaping moves
DELIGHTFUL   the applause . . .

Spanish Night
Dance through the flames
Flamenco blood flows through her veins
Wear the Spanish red dress
Piano black hair and burgundy red lips
Dance in your black heels, footwork and guitar 
The Flamenco dance is what you are
You are the melody in the matador’s red cape
Dancing wildflower and sparkling red flames
Castanets twirl in your hands like a bright sword
Beat your tambourine, stump your feet and clap your hands
Spanish night, Flamenco blood flows through her veins...

The fragility of love 

Only angels and butterflies should write love poems.
When elephants, giraffes and gruff sailors try to,
they sink into the mire of unfinished thoughts not
clarified, hazy sentimental longings and clumsy 
footwork. The ungainly trying to dance to a tune of
love that confuses them, leaving behind deep wounds
in the delicate soil of adoration that will never heal.
Or worst of all, the ultimate shame, to have ones 
declaration of love turned into a folklore joke....
