Of Dancing

I dance upon a teeterboard
To equalize my minds accord
To balance in the wind of din
To stabilize an equal twin

It is the game of life I speak
The good the bad each little tweak
The in, the out, the overall
The cushion and the bounce and fall

I try my best to plant my feet
On either side or be discreet
I cast my weight each day each way
To pacify the game of play

It is a drought of homespun tea
A grace to dance the dance of we
That opens up the door of fault
To wash away the tear of salt

I’m sure you sway a teeterboard
Or do you still play shuffleboard?

Im thinking mine would be an ironing board...yayaya
I dance upon a teeterboard
To equalize my minds accord
To balance in the wind of din
To stabilize an equal twin



this verse is cooooooler than KEWL!!
And so it the poet who wrote it.    


*ww*

When I'm with you my eyes are so wide ...
you reached right in my head and turned on the light inside
turned on the light in my mind.

Yepper life is like a tetter board at times. But sometimes I think I'm on a roller coaster. Right at the moment I think I'm on a very calming sofa. LOL.

Wonderful rhythm...bouncy tune, and very good content....I especially like this stanza

"It is the game of life I speak
The good the bad each little tweak
The in, the out, the overall
The cushion and the bounce and fall"

enjoyed reading this , Seymour

Yes Seymour, life is a dance of sorts. Sometimes I spin out of control and just have to rest a spell. Care to sit this one out with me and we'll chat over tea and ginger snaps? hugs, Chris
