I came here when day was done And I've got my dance shoes on. I did not come to play romance I've got the look; I came to dance. You will not get a second glance Unless you show me, you can dance I'm not here to take a chance I'm on the move; I'm here to dance There you stand in your tight pants Sway with me; show me you dance I don't want shows in thrust or prance I'm in a mood; I came to dance I will accept your prime advance If you make me wild with dance Don't treat me like those young infants Experience me within the dance I won't listen to your rants Accept me now I came to dance And if you're here when dance is done I choose you, to take me home Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

You make me feel inadequate! I can't dance a step! Apart from some funny wiggling jerking movements... but that doesn't count, does it? |

Enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing. I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait. |

Keth beloved heart as always this is exquisite, your writing simply sings to me today, you really do light up the sky with your poetic touch. Which is just as well since you’ve just scared me witless…………. Through the veil of mist your sight Reveals much more than day or night Daily you show the world arrayed In the colours here displayed I would if I could always see The world through your poetry So dance my mind into the day Dip and whirl and let me sway Take me there to that place once more Wrapped in your poetry to soar There are more colours deep within you Which paints the world in vibrant hue Truly wonderful writing you are both wise and clever and I love this utterly utterly utterly love it……… Now shine that light over here quick there’s a thing somewhere and all I have is a useless piece of garlic   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

(smiles) And may the last dance always be saved and every dance never a harbinger of the last dance but rather like a swan song! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I've always been attracted to dance and love watching when two people move so right together, there is a magic between them that sets them apart from others. Your words speak that special bond. |

   We can do the waltz We can do the tango We can cut a rug With any old fandango.  We can do the rhumba Do the foxtrot, too I will never tire of dance If I can dance with you  |

Kethry, I love your poem and the replies, especially the dancing graphics in Balladeer reply. He told me how to do that, but I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for sharing your poem. "Love makes the world go around" |

I've enjoyed reading this dancing poem, Kethry! Reminds of some guy trying to pick a babe up at a dance floor but failed to impress the lady with his dance moves  . This line is good: "I did not come to play romance I've got the look; I came to dance." |

enjoyed the read and the few comments I took time to read your poem made me think of the advice...Dance as if no one's looking! and Balladeer is so computer savvy, wasn't his response a treat with all the graphics and a delightful comeback poem Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
