This Whitney, Dance Me, has the proper formatting and brings the full-impact of a devoted relationship to a place where pies are baked, gizzards are cooked, dishes washed, and love enjoyed.

I can just imagine her reciting this as she leans back in his arms, eyelashes a'flutter! The mono-rhyme addition to your Whitney adds just the right sense of overblown drama!

Hi Debs,

Like the romance of this,
which pops up at the most unexpected moment.

Like the pic. My creative writing tutor is a collector of 1920s and 1930s clothes, so she would love the style of this.

Thanks,

Richard

The kitchen floor indeed! That line made me laugh. But at least they are still in love...
Your title reminded me of a Leonard Cohen song. I think it was called Dance Me To The End Of Love.
Thanks for sharing another lovely poem.

LUV this. Image and poem together make a great post. The looks on these faces and the stance! Yes, let's dance across the floor forevermore. Good rhyming and theme in this clever poem. Marilyn

Hi Debra,

Oh, this is a lovely, lively poem with a musical quality to it that one could almost dance to. Very nicely written with nothing for me to suggest you consider reworking. Thanks for a delightful read. Jan

We've danced in the kitchen and lounge before today too. Another great Whitney. Are they meant to rhyme? I like the ones that do. I'm the old-fashioned type. :)

    Me too, Judy!
    Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm not sure if whitneys are meant to rhyme or not (but mine do!)
    Best wishes as always, Debra :)

This one is fabulous, too. (I have never heard of a Whitney until now! Thank you for making me smarter today. And I absolutely LOVE the flow of this cadence.) And, of course, how could I not love this photo!! Great job, Debra! Three for three!! Keep 'em coming! xo

    Thanks so much, Rachelle :)
    I'm glad you enjoyed this one - it seemed to take me ages to get the rhythm how I wanted it (even with limited syllables!)
    Best wishes as always, Debra x

    I bet with each one it will get easier! And anyway, it's not the work; it's the RESULTS! And yours were wonderful! xo
