Your rhymed reason for being

is seeing and saying the scene

from every available angle



with word trick imagery, and truths

alluded to with alliterated assonance

done in the epitome of brevity. 



We dance, tangled between art 

and romance in conjured voices

versed while no one sees us



written in between fine lines,

imaginary and only brought to life 

in black and white when you decide -



the time is right, Oh poet.

it's deep, deep, perhaps too deep for me, with the ancient cabal of alliteration and assonance, poetry, what's it got to do with me?

Sounds like making music with words, and no worries about a clarity of meaning, or whether there is real meaning?? Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon.

it's just trying to say that the dancers are perhaps imaginary and only come to life when the poet decides to write them in, and telling the him the time to do so is now. But then, who are the dancers, and who is the poet?

Thanks for reading.

Made to trip folk up and exclude them or are they just puzzles? It's like soul food.
