A very well-written poem about dancing through life with a onemail and only life partner is a joyful thing to do. When things do not go as plan, just cling tighter.

    It's good to have someone or something to cling to.

This poem speaks for inviting for a dancing, and dancing with her, enjoying the dancing following the steps and movement in harmony, with love and fun commitment to go for rest after; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Write-Inspire --DR ALCREATOR

    I really appreciate your enthusiastic response to my poem, VRK.
    I notice you are new to FS. Welcome! I hope you enjoy the experience and develop a habit of writing, as I have since joining 6 months ago.

The picture is perfect, and the poem is superb. Reminds me or my hubby and me. We're old and arthritic and worse, but young at heart. We do what little I can, which is going anywhere with him pushing my wheelchair. :)

    Wheelchair dancing can be pretty cool... I saw it done in a movie.
    Keep that young heart aglow. Thanks for the nice review.

You have captured the SPIRIT of that old couple dancing with your cadence and all that alliteration. I chuckled at some of your made-up phrases, then wiped away a tear after reading that lovely final stanza. Rod

I thought the illustration was perfect and I didn't find your poem exactly sombre. Most of all I found it original: dance me a daydream, kiss me with winding...
Thanks so much for sharing. Beautiful.

    Thanks, Maria... in this one I tried to make verbs of some nouns, and it seemed to work quite well.

Life is a dance and we can tango with someone else through it then we are never lonely, especially if that someone is compatible with us, often they are not and it is difficult to find that dance partner later in life. We grow together or apart during the dance, here you took the optimistic dreamy view and I enjoyed the dance, love Dolly x

    I have always had to dance by myself. Even when I had different partners they were either too shy, too embarrassed or too embarrassing, too drunk, too inhibited (not drunk enough), too short, too weird... what is it with guys???

Are they creeping home or creaking home? I just had to ask.
I love your whimsical poem. Your thoughts flow fast and fun. My favorite is
Will you slipper my shuffle when our footsteps falter.

    Both, I imagine. You were quick off the mark... no arthritic joints to hold you back.
    I felt really proud of slipper my shuffle when i wrote it.
    Thanks for your comments.

    I suddenly realised (you got there before I did) that changing 'creep' to 'creak' is way better. So I did. Thank you for the suggestion.
