    without the explanation of moss side in a comment- i'm not convinced i would have gathered the bits of this piece into a whole- but with that minor piece the whole of it is fun and lively and wonderful

    Lovely!

    Brevity is no mountain (or lack thereof?) your pen cannot climb...
    Very well done in only 24 words!
    Blessings! Tammy

    P.S. Great Song too!

    There's something about this that suggests a form, but I'll be jiggered if I can figure out which form that would be. I keep clicking on these itty bitty poems, due to the contest. Interesting, and good exercise - the writing, as well as the dancing.

    The last line is just what is needed, an answer to the question. Nicely done, GillyGill.

    Nice limit poem. Hey doing these short ones can be as hard as a sonnet. But, now that we have found love, what do we do? I have the flu. From kissing you.

    Nearly

    Now obviously part of this is because if it don't rhyme and scan it starts behind the line for me. But although I think it gets the evening across well it just needs, I don't know, more?

    Reminds me of Oasis in New Palz. They had a band covering The Dead, and oh boy did I dance. I danced and danced, and nothing else mattered (at least until the hangover hit )

    Us girls, we need these nights.

    I'm glad you went out

    Seems as if you know what to do with that love, Gill... I can see you dancing!

    This is a great little piece - made me smile. And of course you had another reason to dance last night....>>>>> Johnnny and the Roses!!
