At dVerse today, we begin the first session of a new challenge: Quadrille – a word prompt and a poem to be written to that word in 44 words exactly. Bjorn is the ring leader in this wonderful adventure. I had to learn to do quadrilles years ago in Cotillion Class – a unique form of torture in the South. Today the prompt word is “dance” – as David Bowie said, Let’s dance…put on your red shoes…let’s dance. I love to dance and love to write poetry. Winner!!! Come join us – http://dversepoets.com/2016/01/18/quadrille-1/
Snow swirling in the wind
Whispering in my ear
– Dance with me
to my silent music
Like Astaire and Rogers
I’ll lead you follow
Let me stir your blood –
our private dance
only the moon will see
Our white hot rhumba
In the night

Cha-cha-cha! Love it!

Rhumba too!
Jan 18, 2016 @ 18:08:17
Yes!

Wonderful movement in this one, & for some reason I see in my mind a nearly naked maiden being seduced by wind & snow & magic; smile.

Oh, you romantic one, you! To be able to dance like Rogers & Astaire would be heavenly!
Jan 18, 2016 @ 19:46:06
I love this!
My ear wanted it dance it around to be “Rogers and Astaire” instead of “Astaire and Rogers,” to bring in the sound again from “ear” a few lines above it. 😉

Boy, do I love to dance too ~ Forget winter and dance ~ Love this ending:
Our white hot rhumba

That’s quite romantic. I don’t see snow here much. Makes me wish I did. Thanks for the dance.

Beautiful and “white hot”, even though it may be a snow dance! Great job, I always loved watching Astaire and Rogers dancing.
Jan 18, 2016 @ 22:56:28
Yup, that definitely stirs the blood 😛

We had the same inspiration today! The dancing of snow is beautiful to watch.

Dancing with snow swirling outside can be quite an experience. It is a question of wanting it to happen!

Exactly the softness of how a dance should be… Hot and burning like the swirl of snow…
Jan 19, 2016 @ 08:05:11
Oh….smiling I am! LOVE this one! Snow swirling, the grand photo and mention of Astaire and Rogers…ending with a white hot rhumba! 🙂 Fabulous. Now this is the way to start my morning. Thank you!

Great juxtaposition of “white hot rhumba” set against the cold of snow.
Jan 19, 2016 @ 15:48:53
Very sensuous. Loved this passage, “our private dance / only the moon will see”
Jan 19, 2016 @ 15:57:41
and many times, only the moon did see…smiles.

Oh so spicy….and the image is perfect!
Jan 21, 2016 @ 14:42:24
She does look like snow dancing in that dress, doesn’t she?
Jan 21, 2016 @ 09:28:09
