Poem written for a friend. DA friends might have read it already :-)
Chaos
With a swirl and a twirl and a romp-stomp-slam
A slip and a slide and a crash-boom-bang
in the swinging, moving, pulsing mass is
a breathing puffing, pushing lass
she steps to the front and swerves to the right
her partner swings and she holds on tight
round they go and around again
through twirling, swirling women and men
he lets her go then he grabs her back
their legs keep movin' while their arms go slack
the crescendo builds and the pace gets hotter
she almost slips but he's still got'er
one more step, then a jump and FREEZE!
... and in the sudden silence, she laughs with glee.
He bows, she curtsey's, they smile at each other
he takes a breath: - "D'ya fancy another?"
