Stylised rhythmic intimacy on the dance floor.
Viennese waltz by Terry Reilly
Nonet Poetry writing prompt entry
Artwork by Jewell McChesney at FanArtReview.com

Spines erect, heads inclined, our lower
 
bodies press as legs glide over 
 
the floor. We rise and fall in
 
three-four time, twirling with
 
grace, in formal hold,
 
paying homage
 
to waves of
 
Danube
 
blue.


Writing Prompt
Write a nonet poem. It's a simple format. A nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line seven syllables, etc... until line nine that finishes with just one syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional.

Author Notes
A beautiful, elegant, sensual dance if you can do it properly. Which, unfortunately, I can*t.
