The dance of children. What was your dizzy dance when you were little? Some memories are not to be let go.
Dizzy Dance.
Do you remember the dizzy dance?
Grandmother’s floor waxed to high shine.
Shoes off, in stocking feet,
the dining table pulled away.
Grandma plugged in that old phonograph
and on went tunes from ‘South Pacific’
or ‘Brigadoon’. Then we would whirl
and whirl in circles so fast, till our
bottoms met the floor. Like clumsy
ballerinas we’d fight to gain our balance
then skate and spin till we fell again
a festival of hapless vibrant talent.
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
