Dancing with Michael

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

we took a free dance class
from a coupon you found
in the Yellow Pages

learned to tango together
your green eyes
laughing into mine;

it was almost love
between us,
but simpler, sweeter

a memory with no pain
& I can still hear
that music

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    i like this. it’s easily laid out for the reader but is very effective in what you are trying to accomplish. i see you are kinda local. i think i know where eden is at.
