Dancing Again shhh…. don't tell but isn't it swell when you're alone and the music comes on your feet begin a tap tap tap tappity tap and then your knees follow suit and if no one looks then you're looking cute because the music's got you in it's sway and all of a sudden you're dancing away… and 76 is 16 again… happy takes over and pleasant smiles and here you are grinning and all the while your feet are tap tap tap tappity tapping along to the swing of that old song and you weave and wiggle and give a little jiggle and then a little giggle and 76 is 16 again… you spread your arms 'cause your loved one is there in the air and your dress is in a current's caress as it swings as sounds bring a sweet ring to the tap tap tappity tapping of your feet as you complete the song to its end… and 76 is 16 again… then the music swifts away as fast as it came in the memory of the dance is grist to a story but when you sit next at your desk to pen a dancing memory, the tap tap tappity tapping comes to your feet as you complete the song to its end… the rest is history… and 76 is 16 again…. 02.09.01 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

What a treat this was! I really do love this and relate very much Only music could stir such fervor in a person, regardless of age, I loved the line "and 76 is 16 again" In fact, there are many great lines~Take care, Melissa~ |

So - there I was at school today - We had an assembly with story-telling, sing-along, knee-slapping, hand-clapping dancin' music... Would you believe - My students accused me of "DANCING"... with little giggles.... Teachers aren't real people, you know... LOL... Little do they know!!!...  Neat poem, K.... I like it..  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |
