the band played Moonlight Serenade
and they danced cheek to cheek
across the floor
they were young and in love
once more
the rhythm of the music
swept them back to
a first date when she was
shy and he a nervous
young soldier

Bjorn has challenged us to write a poem using ‘dance’ as a verb with an object and in just 44 words
How romantic to dance and remember that first date ~
Thanks for joining us in our first Quadrille !

I think sometimes certain songs trigger those memories from the past! Enjoyed the theme of your quadrille.

Lovely. I imagine them, perhaps, on their 50th or 60th anniversary, wrinkled cheek to cheek. 🙂
