A Dancer's Body

acrostic. for a contest...

 

 

She starts her rhythm off

 In the catchy beat that

  Makes

   People

     Light on their feet. It swings hips. Taps feet.

    You

   Are not immune to the infectiousness.

  Like you would have us believe.

 Love us better than that. Differently at least.

Utopian ideals may

 Still apply. That remains to be seen.

  I have no knowledge on the subject.

   Of course. He says.

    Nodding his head because he knows

   Something we can hardly close our fingers around.

Ha, I love this poem.

What made you write in the acrostic style? Daring to be different?

I love the imagery, you took me there from start to finish.

It is nicely written and the short bursts makes the form come together.

[Anima Inspired]

Beautiful and delicately balanced... I really like the use of imagery, and the way that the form gives a certain softness to the piece. Nicely written, and wonderfully descriptive!
