Dance perfectly, my woman
Offer an honorable and friendly curtsy
Smile on time, I remember you once forgetting
Shut your mouth, the explaining appropriate never
You should have thought of that selfish woman, you know better
Makes sense now doesn’t it? I’ve told you, your silly dreams forever hindering

I read this earlier this week and liked it then – and now! I wouldn’t have been a very good dancer back in the day when this was the norm…
Not sure if you remember – you nominated me for a Liebster forever ago. I finally got around to doing up my response post and wanted to let you know. It’s here: http://babygatesdown.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/awards-awards-awards/. Anyway – thank you again. Yours was actually my first Liebster 🙂 I should have responded sooner!

Thank you, Louise. I’m glad you liked it. Dancing, in any way, is such a delicate event.
I remember! I’m so glad you accepted it. The first? You deserved it then and now. I adore your blog. I will definitely go check it out. Thank you for responding!!

And it ONLY took me four months! I guess it’s rarely too late to say thank you – right?
I like how you’re doing more poetry and writing now (maybe you always did – but I’ve noticed more of it recently).

Great place to raise kids. Here, I had one choice and all the [snobby] kids went there which turned me right off.

I think she should leave off dancing, and start sword fighting. 😀

Okay I have been trying to figure this out. Is it some sort of… oh… I think I got it. That dude speaking needs a swift kick (if I figured it out right).

Very interesting, Audrey…..does this have to do with a debutante ball?

Thank you. I like interesting, very much. I can see that image, Barb. Your idea is a poetic path too, one I also saw after I wrote the poem. Mostly it comes from the insecurities of wanting to chase my dreams and voices telling me no. Playing the part of a dancing chicken for someone came to mind.
Thanks for reading this and stopping by, Barb.
