Friday Writings # 202...Dancing In The Dark

 Dancing In The Dark

 a glamorous elegant time
seen in black and white movies
favourites even as a child
everyone well dressed
good looking
gliding across the dance floor
to great songs like
dancing in the dark
nightclubbing in the 30s


i love the idea of
dancing in the dark
with a chap who
could dance like fred astaire 





sadly
left my run too late
would no doubt result
in  a bed situation 
not a desirable one
 a hospital bed
from a slip and fall

  1. Oh I think you would pull those dance moves off splendidly ... no injuries allowed! Love where you took the challenge, Rall.

  2. I greatly enjoyed the poem, the music, and the divine dancing.

    My very first husband (of three) was a champion ballroom dancer, with trophies to prove it, and could make even tone-deaf, uncoordinated me look and feel good on the dance floor. Alas, we were ill-suited in many ways and the marriage didn't last long, but there are some lovely things like that to remember.

  4. LOL, sadly I do all my night dancing at family events only. But I do love those golden age of Hollywood dance numbers.
