Challenge To Dance

All right
I'm ready
to get down
and dance,
the D.J's playing
my all time
favorite song
come on,
am I
the only
brave one in here?
All right
I'll show you all
how it's done,
slowly
I move my body
to the dance floor
reaching
my hands out
to invite
one and all
as I kick
my shoes off
to get
the real essence.
The music
has me grooving
lost in it's beat
kiss of rhythm
blinding me
of need for partner.
I dance
alone free
with the music
to delight.
Hand in hand
with imagination
soaring
seeing two dancers
where there just
is one alone
twirling, and dipping,
caressing
shoulders and hip
granting desires
a flowing floor
to flourish.
For now
I dance alone
one on one
side by side
until someone
takes up my
challenge to dance.


My challenge to you all here
is to write a poem where
you come and join me
on the dance floor,
this place needs
to get back up and moving
so come one and all lets dance.

Great challenge Dreamer but I'm afraid I'm not up to it at the moment.  It pains me to sit at the computer for more than a moment or two and can't hand write at all for now.  Sorry.

the swirling dance
of passion & romance
leads us to the floor
of minds open door
we have the key
you & we
to be free

Let's Dance!

is Moving to the dance floor,
Asking if there room for a third,
Can't stand sitting around,
Just like bopping to the beat,
And I tell you now,
It won't take you nothing,
Just to get me bopping. :P

 We are all poets, its just some people dont know it yet.
