So many great haiku on dancing!
So many great haiku this week about dancing! Jill Scoggins was good at it:
Study or disco?
College years spent making that
choice. Yeah. Disco won.

IPLawGuy, maybe not so much (but I think he is probably wrong):
Only a few moves
Clumsy enthusiasm
Would love a partner.

Tim has a dim self-assessment:
On two left feet with
A total lack of rhythm
Trying to stand up.

Des has a positive view (as she should):
Dancing at my son’s
wedding - “Little bit softer
now,” brings us all in.
The fountain of youth
ain’t in Florida. It’s on
a hoppin’ dance floor!

The Medievalist, too:
Dancing adventures,
Coming of age at a dance,
Lovely memories.

There were a few excellent anonymous entries, including this:
They were born limbs linked.
With no flaw, they sync steps—
Kiss to Glenn Miller.

And this:

Dancing on toes alert,
Leapt in space ,fearless.

And this:
She in mom’s sewing, they twist
He high above her,
She dwarfed…Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.!

She dwarfed…Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.!
Christine got (and gives) some good advice:
Someone told me to
Dance with reckless abandon
And joy shall follow.

And finally, a historical note from IPLawGuy:
tune "Dance, Little Sister Dance"
by Jagger/Richards.
