Slip into my forward glide
Keep me close to your side
Let our bodies sway as one
The music makes us come undone
Touch my cheek, I caress yours
Bodies together like this for hours
Dance with me till dusk turns dawn
All boundaries now withdrawn
Music transforms our inner coil
Bodies flowing smooth, like oil
Moving fluidly, our posture twinned
Nothing between, to each other pinned
Gliding across the polished floor
Is it only a dance or something more?

W3 Prompt #108: Wea’ve Written Weekly
The Ovi are in general, lyrical folk songs expressing love, social irony, and heroic events. They are written in the following scheme.
4 line stanzas, as few as one stanza and up to as many as you like.
8 syllables or less per line
Rhyming is AAAb. The second stanza would be CCCd. The third, EEEf. And so on. Meaning nothing in one stanza must rhyme with anything in the previous stanza. The fourth line does not rhyme.

Ovi Poetry Challenge 49: DANCE is your inspiration.
I chose number 3: If you could take a one-month trip anywhere in the world and money were not a consideration, where would you go and what would you do?

I would take a trip to the south of France. My middle son and his wife live in southern France, revamping an ancient home, with out buildings and unkempt acreage. They “escaped” the rat race of Denver to make a self sufficient home in a small village in France. They are working nonstop to make a success for a sustaining garden and even planted fruit trees and have some chickens. It’s been quite the learning experience for both of them. My son’s worst struggle is learning to be fluent in French☺️.

Writer’s Workshop Prompts for May 23, 2024
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
Arlene panicked when she realized she had sent the text to her boss, rather than to her boyfriend.
It could have been one of those boring texts she usually sends, “how’s it going, buddy?” But no. It had been a wonderful romantic evening and she wanted her boyfriend to know how much she looked forward to seeing him this next night. The text she supposedly sent to him started with, “hey sexy, how about cooking up another hot date tonight? You know my favorite meal XXX!” Arlene knew she had to talk to her boss right away to explain, but was shocked when she was summoned to his office. There he was, dressed only in a file folder and a big smile.

Haibun Monday 5/20/24: May Transience
Sitting in peace, reading the paper in a sweet, mellow, restful agenda, sat Jimmy Jones, in his secret identity, adrift in the unknowing media sea and him with a song in his heart, maintaining a soothing contemplative state. The television office personnel knew not to bother him until it was time for the big show. At that time, Jimmy would reveal his public persona, with loud harsh words donning his Crazy Cornac wrestling outfit. Thumping along the wrestling ropes surrounding the ring, he gnashed his teeth and swore impending victory over his opponent.
