Look out friends, tonight I dance-- skip-kick, bass-drum beat. Kicking sand into the fire, tonight my feet will own the street Tonight I break the tambourine, a sacrifice to joyful noise no more tears for "only ones" no regrets for things undone-- tonight I'm kissin' ALL the boys... In darkness I rejoice the sun. This night I wave my cares goodbye, tonight I grasp the moon, and hold her up to light the night a trophy--held aloft to sky-- a crescent grin--a silver spoon. Tonight is mine tomorrow too, a feast begins in preparation... In greet of dark, I strike a spark... tonight begins the celebration. Counting candles, trimming wick... A yule log from the oak-- where yesterdays are shadow's play and all my fears go up in smoke. My party now is to commence-- four day's journey--happiness... acknowledgement of "the change"-- grateful nothing stays the same-- as even death prepares for life... an embrace of return of light nothing's wasted--no laments. Tonight I learn to dance again. Tonight, I dance with bells on feet. Tonight begins the solstice greet. |

This is a great write and sounds like a wonderful party atmosphere. "party has been cancelled at my house" (sorry, afraid I wanted to make sure I reached everyone and used your poem) have a great time and Merry Christmas to you.  |

serenity, Great writing. Sounds like my kind of party!!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
