Listen to the song that inspired the image that, in turn, inspired the poem while you read🩷.
Always part of a group
She never arrives alone
Not much of a drinker
You won’t catch her prone
She’s happiest when
The band starts to moan
💃
Once the band warms up
Out on the dance floor, she goes
Round and round, faster and faster
Ripping and tearing a jig on her toes
Laughing, she shimmy, shimmy shakes
Catching sight of herself, she crows
💃
Bogeying
She doesn’t care
Jiving
Let them stare
Bopping
Swirling her hair
Gyrating
With such flair
💃
Don’t worry
She’s not lonely
She doesn’t mind
Being the only
Dancer on the floor
Prancing boldly
💃
Flouncing just for herself
Spinning like a child’s top
She leads while she follows
Uncontrollably, she won’t stop
Finally, she wears herself down
And she’s ready to flop
💃
Bogeying
She doesn’t care
Jiving
Let them stare
Bopping
Swirling her hair
Gyrating
With such flair

So fun and free! Yass! Dancing while reading it.
Hehehe! Love the snap crackle and pop of this! 😄 I like how you’ve used the music and image creation as inspiration. This is a cool idea for writing for sure! This was one of my favourite lines, “She leads while she follows”! 😁
Fab job Mother! You made me want to do a bee bop! Lol 💕💖
Great!! The art and song along with your words!💗💕💗
this has a truly musical vibe. Well done, MC. Partay!!!!
Oh, I love this rhythm and the passion that girl has for life :)
Bold, beautiful ballad!!!❤️❤️💕
Oh wow I wish my confidence and self esteem were as high as hers. Loved your poem!
Not sure why but I suddenly have "I wanna dance with somebody" in my head after reading this!! Great piece, MC!!!
This makes me want to dance, MC! Love it! What a great way to start off the week <3
Dance like no one's watching, Sharon!
Dance the way we used to dance as children, like nobody's watching & no one cares what we look like while doing it. Love the song, especially the version in "Glee" where it's the guy in the wheelchair singing it.
Great writing!
Beautiful, Sharon! Enjoyed both the song and the poem.
So lovely I remember feeling like that many years ago where have I gone ? ✍️🌼🏆⭐️
