On With The Dance!

made by Juliet Wilson
Whirling of petticoats,
flashing of eyes,
as couples gyrate.
See? Girls with their guys
flaunting bright cummerbunds-
colours galore
on softly draped neckerchiefs.
None can ignore
the traditional folk tunes
whose rhythmical beat
encourages dancers
to stamp their feet!

Thanks to Juliet for this creation,  for which I supplied words. It's on her blog today, as well as here, but as we'll have different people dropping by, I thought I'd go for the double! Now I'm going to link it to One Stop, as I believe in making the most from the least...

    dear jinksy,

    what a wonderful idea...and both your poem and juliet's colorful and unique dolls create a wonderful place to visit amongst all the gloom and doom in the world today...the many designs and textures, sampling of colors, make both your talents visually exciting as your description of an ethnic dance is filled with your love of life...the photo could be a painting, or photo, or perhaps a little of both and the intricacy of the designs on the dancers costumes add to your colorful poem...

    most importantly it has been a pure joy and a lot of fun visiting your blog and reading your poem. wonderful talents combined, even better...thank you for the link by the way...

    sincerely

    Wow this was unique
    As I came to take a peek
    Does the stamp get stuck to your feet
    Maybe with a lick and some heat
    Then you'd shake and twitch
    As it might itch..lol
    Like how it was nice and cheery
    And not all dark and dreary
