Dancin’ Never was one for learnin’ steps because thinkin’ about sync’n with somethin’ besides the music isn’t dancin’ to me Oh, don’t think for a minute that means my moves won’t rhyme with anybody else’s. I’m just sayin’ the beat feels like a ball bouncin’ around inside of me. Once it hits my shoulders, heaven help my feet. But it is the guitar that slides my arms in the air and sways me between each beat. When that solo comes and it begins to do that wail… I can’t help but throw my head back. I’m weak in the knees as that hot, sultry sound resonates. I get a sound inside me looking to get out. From hips to fingertips, I feel it touching me. Sometimes it hits so deep it bends my knees. Now, that’s what I call dancin’. LGR©10/10/15 |

Great, energetic moves in your poem Miss Lori. The 'Super Slinky's bend and bow to you! (There you go with that 'sultry' word again.  )88's to the bar She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Yea, um...well, I'd kinda been looking for a word and that one seemed to work so well and I am a rather mischievous sort...~L |

"From hips to fingertips, I feel it touching me. Sometimes it hits so deep it bends my knees. Now, that’s what I call dancin’." You got that right, Lori, it's a deep down surge that takes complete control of you. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Yeah, dancing is kinda like basketball for me . . . when I do it, everybody laughs. But I know the "feeling" your words espouse, and I know the syncopation of the soul, and whether my feet move or not, knees and hips and arms and body do their thing or not... my soul is always in it, and everyone knows. And the laughter . . . I chose to believe it's with me,not against. enjoyed. j. |
