A Poem by Donald Meikle
"

Two feet high and rising

"
Dancing a tango two feet off the sod
Thanks to a poet from Brighton
So many people now give me a nod
With lots of them reading my  writin'
I'm higher than ever and rising each day
Not thinking It may be a deal
I just keep on writing in hope of success
Trying to make it all real
to capture a reader 
And with my words lead her
While the rest of the time I confess
I wait for the second shoe fall
But lately I'm having a ball

I can feel your joy in this piece. However, do you have a typo in the second to last line..."...second shoe to fall...?" Very nice!
