AT THE POETS BALL

by Charles E Minshall


______________________

All poets dance
With nouns and verbs,
Finding delight
In the dance of words.

A spin a twist
To a metrical beat,
All done in style
With dancing feet.

Symbolism delightful! When truly inspired the words do dance don't they!

Short, simple, cute. Very nice. And very true. ;)

Since I am not a very good dancer with my body, your poem is a consolation to me... hadn't thought of writing... especially poetry... in this way. Your poetry is a particularly apt expression of the rhythm and verve of dance... so it is natural that you would capture it so well in your poem.
