One, Two, Three… One…

dance_steps Have a care, mind your backs, watch out,
you there…
don’t you know it’s extremely dangerous to
linger here?
There’s trouble a brewing, there’s a fight
in store,
I don’t know who’ll win but I know one thing
for sure,
by taking nothing for granted, you leave nothing
to chance
Now, …
lets start this again,
wishing I’d never agreed
I’d learn to dance…

  1. well it is slightly less hazardous than learning to drive ( with your partner teaching!!)

    • ah now…. you’ve never seen me trying to dance, Willow, I leave a trail of destruction behind me… Mayhap I should concede defeat, whilst someone still has two feet left…(as apposed to my two left feet that is .. ;-) ) xPenx

  2. Katie Isabella

    I wish I could have away to learn.

    • I wish so too, Carole, whereas my partner wishes I hadn’t thought of trying… at all!! … now, one two three…coordination is the key, was that your foot or mine?.. ;-) xx

  3. guess that’s why I learned to dance…

    • ah, Eddie, have you come to take over?… My partner wishes you would… Mayhap it’s the teacher?… :-) xx

      • There is only one “you” and I can not write like you. Your unique style, witt and form add up to the reason why many return again and again! Besides…you’re loved by me and many others too!

        • I’m almost speechless my friend, note I said almost ;-)
          You’re so kind Eddie, my thanks for such an accolade, in fact you’ve made me blush… now … would you care to dance? I’ll try and put my best foot forward… but … I don’t know which one it is… xxxx

  4. I love the way you write, Pen!…Oh you, you can dance, everyone can. :)
    Let’s dance over to the table for a cuppa. :
    Hugs a plenty! xxx

    • You made me think of Abba, then Deb, You can dance, you can jive *cough* sorry, was I singing too loud then? :-) … and that cuppa’s always appreciated… hugs aplenty my friend… xPenx

  5. Ah, Pen… I can’t dance, I can’t jive… and that is so painfully obvious when I do!!! So I don’t very often. Hardly ever, now in fact…

    • Ah Sir Aquatom, isn’t it funny, that in our minds we know we’re perfect at everything, (’til we try that is) yet here I am trying to coordinate the steps to the music and somehow I miss a beat, mayhap just one, and then the rhythm just goes and what should be a perfectly smooth dance becomes a jerky non event… xx

    Lovely Poem xxx

    • I think the partner/teacher is all important, Sheila, and your lovely experience bears this out… Glad you enjoyed my foray onto the dance floor, and hugs aplenty my friend. xPenx

  10. This is perfect, Pen. We often go the wrong way around the floor, adding another dimension of encounter.

    • I suppose you could say it’s a good way to ‘meet’ people. Monica,… my way of treading on their toes means they’ll never forget me… ;-) … hugs to you my friend. xPenx

  11. James Bathouprothes

    This poem is a wonderful summation of the finite dance we are forced into as we encounter the world.

    • I think we all try to learn the dance of life, James, we just seem to be listening to different tunes. If we could synchronise, mayhap we’d stop leaving a total trail of destruction in our wake. Many thanks for your comment and for dropping by new friend… xx

  12. Your poem is exactly what l happen to me if ever i go to a dance class..;) Although last year i did want to learn to jive.. Maybe that can be delayed forever.. Just needs a great partner.. Maybe an old friend.. :) Nice poem.. Very well put..
    Sheena xoxo

    • Thank you Sheena, it makes me feel better to think I’m not alone in my experience. :-) … I agree about the right partner, ’tis an important ingredient methinks. Have a great week my friend…. xPenx

  13. I love dancing! But I gotta admit since entering my 50s, I only do it when I’m at home alone! ;)

  15. I always Had two left feet :-)
