Dancing

you took my hands, together we leaped
gliding to the dance floor, we dipped
swaying closer, we ignored    
hiphop, rock, fast beat grooves  
we waltzed round and round
timeless rhythm


my hands waved and curled under
one leg lunged as our tongues embraced
we didn’t hear the music anymore
but we kept


dancing til   
rapture
 love   





Author's Note:   I used the nonet for the form (9 lines; first line with 9 syllables; second line with 8 syllables.. until the last line is one syllable), but added 4 lines in the middle so that the total words fit the 55 word challenge of FF.


Isn't it so hot today?  Hope you guys are keeping cool ~

  12. What a great way to make love. Except for the PDA. That means people will interrupt you.

  13. Very creative with the nonet and the 55 arrangement. Bonus points for thinking outside the box. The poem itself is written smoothly and craftily, and is really really appealing to me. I love dancing, especially to music like this. Loved it, Heaven.

  16. Yes it's hot and I think you're poem just ran the thermometer up another ten degrees. I really admire how you can fit such lovely words in the framework of syllable and word counts.
