This six-line poem, Dancing till Dawn, uses forty-four words to dance the reader down a memory lane that is now to fast to pass in. It was fun though.

Yep writer there comes a time when you have to wind down to some of the wild things that you used to do that dancing you can moderate yourself in that but this other stuff dancing naked and all of that you grow up from that I would think. But to each his own conviction and if that's what you want to do on the line is dance naked then do your thing sometimes the mind has to catch up with the body because the mind can go with beyond what the body can do LOL

What a good response to the writing prompt for a six-lined poem. This is a good topic and you did a great job describing everything in your 6 lines. A good entry! Good luck.

The body keeps saying enough is enough. Boy it was fun while it lasted though wasn't it. The memories seem to have lost their glow though as I age. I could have used my time more wisely but I think I did in the second part of my life.
Well done. Nancy

That poem came out fantastic. And I'm out of 6er's. So please forgive me. Good alliteration with B-D-S words. Good internal and external rhyming. Good flow from a varied assonance. Good repeat to end. Great visual imagery. Creative. Strong. Enjoyable to read. Exceptional work.

I felt a bit of energy reading the first 3 lines, but when I got to the last three, that energy turned to sadness to the realization of old age. Very well written.

I think this is a good entry for the Six Line Poem writing prompt.
You tell us a sad truth. I too have those memories. Old memories.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

I can relate. Almost.
Aging isn't pretty, but it's only as restrictive as you allow it to be.
We dance slower, we sag lower, we snore louder.
But we still make our own choices.
We don't have to say 'No more'. We can always say, 'Tomorrow'.

Peace, Lee

    I agree Lee, I can still do all those things just not quite as fast. Thanks for the comments. Have a nice night/day wherever you are.
