May I Have This Dance?

Ah now . . . met my honey on a night like that.

That is very good. It makes you think, and some of us really need to do that more often!

LOvely poem! Thank you for sharing.

THO HE HAS PASSED FOR MANY YEARS, STILL, I DANCE WITH MY BELOVED, WHEN THE MOON IS FULL AND THE WIND BLOWS,'TIS HIM, HIM, CARRESSING ME......

Beautiful!



Could You Possibly Be Another Edgar Allen Poe?

The Connection Between Mood Disorders and Creativity

My prerogative. Maybe I shouldn't say, but think "Newton". lol. I usually do.

realy nice poem nalita.......
ah, dancing the night away!

May I have this dance, Berf?

Dena, I was reading what you said. I really wish it was like that with my first love. No where near.

We met in a store. . . oh no! Yep! I had just had the worst day of my life, blow out on my car, late to work, bad day at work, car towed in commuter traffic and couldn't get to the dealer to pick it up before they closed/conflict with work, so my sister had to take me home. I was picking up some groceries and he was there, working.

HE was the last thing on my mind. After leaving the door my sister said,

"Nete, that man was flirting his a** off with you!!!"

And I said, "What. Who? I have no time for that."

But subsequent encounters were better, because I did start to PAY ATTENTION.
He was the most romantic man I ever met, especially the way he proposed -- WOW!

The first meeting was pretty pathetic though; I could not have told you what he looked like, although 6'3", and handsome -- I should have noticed THAT.

I was SLIPPING!!!!!!!

Uh uh -- you aren't going to ruin my story -- there.

My partner is the bed. That is the best partner for a woman like me tonight! Hah!

Party on, folks!
Party on!

Beautiful Neeeeeetahhhhhhh! ;o)

I will sit this one out. But Thanks.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS SISTER

I love your poem and feel like dancing, you've danced your way through gather with them. Adorable,
Charlotte

A very nice poem. Thanks for sharing this with us.

You have a special way of expressing yourself. Thanks.

Nalita,
Thank you for a nice memory

I like this a lot....it flows so nicely and weaves such a dreamlike image! :-D

Wow. Poetry may be want the reader wants it to be. Hitting tooo close to home for me, though. So Susan, you are starting to put me in check and soon someone is going to checkmate me. I'll checkmate myself myself. lol.

For me, this was a dance of the spheres. Colours -- or so scientists tell us -- sing or are melodious. My dance takes place in dimensions we've yet to explore. I want to explore those things we have not yet been able to grasp. That's MY dance. I'm inviting the like-minded to "come dance with me." I'll bet Newton would have liked that dance. In fact, he did some dancing like that and thank God he did.

Thank you for sharing your dances with me. You all have such beautiful dances of your own.

Don't stop dancing! May we never ever stop . . .

This is fun, light and full of life. I love it.

I hope you dance like the song says. Very nice poem.

Very nice. I am always ready to dance.

Beautiful and well written.

This is beautiful. Very romantic.

lovely!

Charlotte: You said,
"you've danced your way through gather with them."
in referring to some of my poetry. I wonder if anyone has bestowed a higher honour upon me in Gather than those words. The fact that you haven't known me long, but you have obviously gone back PAGES -- you had to go back pages, lol -- and looked at my poetry. . . .

I don't know what to say, except that it is these things that make a person's week
day,
month . . .
I salute you.
No, I have one better . . .

Charlotte:
Nous des Américains nous sommes habitués au monde se pliant à notre manière de faire des choses. Nous préférons que chacun parlent anglais. Nous préférons que toutes les coutumes soient américaines. Nous préférons la manière américaine de faire des choses partout dans le monde parce que nous croyons que l'Amérique est la meilleure. Je dois admettre que je suis coupable de ceci. Je suis très fier de l'Amérique. Je suis très fier de mon pays. Mais les Américains doivent apprendre à être plus larges et davantage ouvrir-se sont occupés. Vous êtes très aimable. Vous voulez vous renseigner sur nous, et vous êtes ouvert de nos idées. Vous êtes ouvert d'arrangement notre façon de vivre. Je pense que nous devrions apprendre cette leçon de vous. La raison que j'écris en français, et j'espère que je le fais assez bon pour que vous comprenniez est parce qu'il est temps pour des Américains de commencer à faire ces choses. Vous venez chez nous et nous parlez en anglais. Pourquoi ne pouvons-nous pas faire la même chose ? J'ai voulu vous remercier dans la langue française. Merci, Charlotte !

Very romantic Poem.
I can't remember the last time I went dancing like that.
I Gotta get out more!

Charlotte: Thank God Vladik isn't here! His message would be harsh. He would examine every word, every verse, critique it and then talk about me like a DOG! I know you won't do that.

Well, at least he would talk about me like a DOG to my face. lol.

Otelia: Thank you, or Merci!

Lisa, Lawrence, Beverly, Penni, Randee, Birdee, Chick, Lemzo, Vickie, Anthony, Paidra, Sue, Angie, Kay, Heather, Cheryl and Lloyd

Along with Susan, Otelia, Charlotte and good ole Nalita -- sounds like the makings of a good enough dance to me!

What do you think?

Any other takers?

I'll tell you what though
-- Isaac Newton is an honorary guest at this one; I insisted!
No! He insisted! A long time ago. lol.

Einstein, and a few other physicists should be here too, except I think Einstein might have relished this dance toooo much. Look at the names up there. Hmmm. Not too many men. . . .lots of females.

Nice poem, Nalita. I love to dance so I can relate to this one.

I danced today. Rare moment. In the Arboretum..... God is the perfect artist!

Sue and Jeff: Thank you. And Jeff, yes! God is the perfect artist. When studying Milton I first learned of the Musica Mundana, and I was captivated. Then later I learned about the scientific aspect of it. You are so correct. Man is very arrogant when he believes he can trump or outdo God in any way. All that we can do is fool around with what He has already provided. As the saying goes, "for your enjoyment".

Thank you!

This was beautiful.
