I have to be honest. I do not love the picture,because it looked like fire at first. No offense:) I might use softer, happier colors for dancing. I probably would six this with a different pic:)
I LOVE your words! Even more, the whole world of thought it opens up, is amazing for so few words to have opened it. It makes me want to dance and appreciate life's song! It's like you are saying dancing is embracing and loving your life.
Very well written and meaningful poem!
Tina

    Thanx so much for your comments, Tina -- love the honesty, Beautiful Lady!! ;) And I went back and forth between the reds and the blues/aquas and ended up with the reds...think it has to do with life right now!! :) ;) Emotions are what I speak through my poetry and, yeah, lots of stressful reds right now!! ;) ;) I am glad you enjoyed the poem -- those words mean a lot to me! :) ;) You take care out there, Lady T -- blessings across the miles! ;) ;) Yvette

    Thanx so much, Ali, and glad the coloration came across alright....I always worry that the colors will look very different on different computer monitors! ;) ;) I was introduced to dancing when I was three and never let it go!! ;) :)

Very nice entry! You should garner positive reviews for it.

Like how your verse is matched perfectly with your selected illustration.

But I can't name that song in two notes. LOL

This has a wonderful presentation, with a 'Dance Abstract' image, and the black background with gradual colored letters, which are centered. The sentiment is moving. An excellent message, with great choices of words to display it. I have always loved to watch an expressive dance, by those who move about freely, with no inhibitions. Thank you for sharing your talent for expression.
Take care, Jesse

    Thanx so much, Jesse -- you know, I was introduced to dancing when I was three and never let it go!! ;) :) It's one of my 'fall back' excercises for stress relief and it just naturally flowed into this one! ;) ;) Thanx again for the wonderful comments -- you always have a way of making me smile! ;) :)

You have cleverly presented a valid, positive message in seven simple words. The abstract artwork selection is quite busy dancing.
This 2-4-2 contest entry looks promising.
Best wishes!

A very well-written 2-4-2 poem. When we hear the music of life we need to fall into rhythm and dance along of fall off the path and see how others go on without you, if you want to be part of the music you need to be willing to dance.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Well, you KNOW I had to love THIS one!! It's playing my song in all the ways that appeal to me most: dance, songs, and, sure, I'll go for the cheap joke here, CARESSING!!! Plus I just love what you did with the colored font. This looks like a front-runner to me, my sweet friend!! Good luck! xo

    Thanx so much for your review on this one, Rachelle and those lovely stars are WONDERFUL!! :) ;) Like you, dancing is just such a rush for me any time...to any kind of music... haven't danced 'formally' in decades but just the slightest mood swing or the right note gets my feet to going! :) ;) Thanx again for EVERYTHING and take care! ;) Yvette ;)
