Dancing on My own Haikus 7.0
(i) Green Eyed
once I loved to dance
now all I can do is watch
jealous of their legs
(ii) Memories
tired of sitting down
so long I can't remember
the last waltz with you
(iii) Could be Worse
wide eyed and legless
could be a worse dance partner
wide legged and eyeless
(iv) Condascending
you wear that look well
not a cripple pity party
don't ask me to dance
(v) Thriller
I now can't moon walk
I'm blaming it on the boogie
not the lack of legs
(vi) Ghostly
Phantoms dance unseen
Phantom pains, a constant issue
can't fight the feeling
(vii) The Last Waltz
In my mind I dance
come with me inside my head
dance me the last dance

So deeply emotional and heart-tugging. But, this is how I see you, David.

Careful with that last stanza, my friend. You very well might find your dance card completely full with no time for rest. This poem brings both sadness and smiles for me. So many hugs, so many

I’m a little late to arrive... but can I still have this dance? =)
The content is so sad, but still I enjoy reading you my love. You’re a master of haikus, brilliantly penned and emotionally moving!
I love you David ❤️

Couldn’t agree more. I have found poetry a great way to channel my thoughts, feelings and experiences. My favourite form of therapy :-)
