Take a step back
you are dancing
afterall
so pause
before the two step
and twirl
catch the room off-guard
enter the dangerous
where each foot follows a line
and avoids it
Exchange hands
and side-step feet
the beat must be neat
perfection
and everybody else
smelling their perfume
nature’s rehearsal
for the back room
or the dancer
who cuts his legs
to the music’s moan
a triumph of action
his lost awareness
to solemn stares
from those
watching him
the man who dances alone.

Hi there, Intellectual Shaman (great name btw!),
I am reaching out because I noticed you liked my my most recent post.
As a writer who is fairly new to WordPress (& blogging in general), I am interested in how you came across my post.
I plan on being more active in the digital publishing world now that I am out of school. I would like to find a community of like minded creators (such as yourself) that I can engage with and be motivated by.
Any insight would be absolutely valued and appreciated.
All the best,
Mr. Fangler

Hi Ray, I’m glad that you discovered one of my earlier poems! I am just discovering that love is the secret! There is a difference between knowing this and practicing this, because love is spiritual. I love certain things in my life (golf, books, the library, friends, etc.) and the more I love, and write about it, the better I am in every way–sounds cliché. Oh well… I think I found your blog through a wordpress search, under a subject line. I started my blog to write consistently, and it has helped me with that. I think there needs to be a bigger WHY? beyond blogging. My inspiration is Bukowski and Thoreau. I’m not sure if this helps… Best, Andy.
