Poem - When You Dance

[kokopelle]

People are given the opportunity to let their figurative hair down when they dance. You get a real feel for people when they are given permission to express their spirit though the movement and social interactions. Some people are a delightful surprise when prejudged impressions swept aside. Be their style telling or intriguing, dancing speaks volumes about the person in motion.


When You Dance
Poem for Day 029 - 20150129

I can tell how you dance,
there are so many ways.
Some are complimentary,
others are contrarian.
I'll tell you about them
and we'll see what you do.

Some stress the physical,
one extreme or the other,
either a refined touch,
a bodily lilt,
or a forceful presence
with impact dispensed.

Would you be
graceful, reclining,
supple, dainty,
timid, floating,
delicate or fragile?

Can you be
playful, aggressive,
certain, assertive,
assertive, extending
vigorous, or springing?

Others stress a temperament,
a style with a flavor,
either an angelic air,
a demeanor most proper,
or a devilish manner,
hot brimstone afire.

Could you be
nice, considerate,
timid, coy,
refined, gracious
polite, or genial?

Might you be
naughty, impish,
wicked, roguish,
rascally, lewd,
lascivious, or salacious?

I can tell how you dance,
your moves give you away,
everyone has a nature,
and yours is on display.
I can tell how you dance
when you dance with me tonight.
