They Danced
They danced in the vale
of the shining waters,
chests heaving with anticipation
as smiling lips touched
and fingers brushed, a subtle
collarbone while the
stars fell away,
in the midst of
their embrace.

Homage to Modern Minstrel Philosophers - Contemporary Sage
My first encounter
with Natalie
was watching her
appearance
on a late night talk show
She sang so beautifully
in her sonorous,
silky alto.
Lithely dancing
to the rhythm,
arms extended, undulating,
hands moving
in Hula or
Flamenco-like
motions.
A one sided romance
began to bud.
Dare I say?
I fell in love
with this free-spirited
songstress
and her captivating performance.
Her music teaches me
to pay more attention
to the human condition.
To do what I can to lighten...

Party season has officially begun
Last night was intense
Bright lights and much suspense
Smiles and laughter
Dancing forever after
Old friends and many new
Dreams awaiting to pursue
I was back among my youth
Cousin smashin’ it in the dj booth
Girls bringing that feminine mystique
Boys grinning from cheek to cheek
What a night, what a ride
My glee I truly can’t hide
I had everyone bopping
Grooving and rocking
The beats were the best
Put my moves to the test
I feel ecstatic, revived
Goddamn it, I feel alive!

I remember a big room
some central lodge perhaps
empty
a song playing loudly
and not just any song
a song of exquisite joy
Tom Petty's
American Girl
Barely thinking
I step into the song
and I dance
I dance with my long blonde hair flying
l dance like a dervish from a veiled lifetime
I dance with abandon because I'm 22 and want to kill myself
and who cares if I'm foolish
if I don't have to remember it
I dance because I worship music
I dance because I'm a prayer in motion
I dance because...

Butterfly Dance
She walked into the nightclub
in a tantalizing tight black dress
accentuating every curve
strangely beautiful, I must confess.
Wearing orange Bakelite jewelry
she bought for just fifty cents
silver rings on every finger
her confidence sure to impress.
She stepped out on the dance floor
swaying those curving hips
showing off her Monarch wings
a mischievous smile upon dark red lips.
No one knew what to make of it
they’d never seen a creature like her before
with wings spread out and fluttering
as she...

I Used To Dance
I just can't part with them
my two pairs of toe-shoes, now
forty years old
and (still) neatly packed away
in the box of memories
I can't dump, either.
"Maybe someday, I'll put them back on
and dance again"
Maybe I'll get back the chance
to audition for the Boston Ballet, too
like they requested of me
(in writing)
forty years ago, when
I hung up my dance shoes
....because....
Looking at boogers
and other fluids from the body
under microscopes
was far more thrilling ...

The Men Don't Dance
I feel the beat,
and in turn
find myself moved
to a busy dancefloor
always outnumbered by women
but thrilled by such odds
inevitably drawing one
close to me
eyes locked
safely seeing
if our bodies would match
in a different arena,
and my skill isn't as important
as my willingness
and that shift to a slower tempo
draws one to ask
if I will join
which I graciously do
and so often
it is confessed
that the husband don't dance
- it is a common complaint
and so, briefly
I engage in...

Odd Girl
I was an awkward girl with no balance
a little too fat to wear a tutu
my grandma said too heavy for my toes
my mother put me in ballet
said it woud teach me grace
as my grand plies looked pitiful
and my dance so mournful
light blue leotard and stockings
on a chubby little wretch
my poor mother
I felt for her, I was happier up in a tree
playing Jane of the jungle
and dreaming of my future
the sun setting on my back
the sky open
far away from that stuffy little studio
where I learned grace...

Dancing Beauty
As I watched you dance, entranced,
My heart quickened in a rhythmic dance.
With each graceful motion, a chance,
To witness beauty, a sweet romance.
The elegance of your moves, a trance,
Passion exuding, a captivating advance.
I stood mesmerized, in a trance,
As you wove a dance, a poetic lance.
You, an angel in fluid stance,
A rare divine beauty, a cosmic dance.
My heart skips a beat, in a trance,
Whenever our eyes meet, love's enhance.

Spotted Her Dad Sitting Shocked
Zendaya went to
work at a nightclub, stripped and
joined Nicole on bathtub stage.
That was before she
spotted her dad sitting shocked
in the nightclub audience.

iamb a trochaic anapaest
an anapaestic dance
[No. 9 from The Children’s Collection]
“We are members of a vast cosmic orchestra, in which each living
instrument is essential to the complementary and harmonious playing
of the whole.”―J. Boone
how the whoosh of the wind and the splash of the sea
have conjured to construct an orchestra for me,
and the whisper of raindrops―again-and-again drops―
are sounding as grand as the band on the stand!
