Tuesday’s 30/30 Poetry Facebook prompt was to write a poem that dances around a secret.
Positions, Please
Shall we waltz? Shall we tango?
Do you prefer the minuet?
Choose merengue or fandango —
how familiar shall we get?
Samba, mambo, rhumba —
do you like a little heat?
Schottishe, cakewalk, polka —
just how nimble are your feet?
We could Charleston, we could foxtrot,
bossa nova until dawn.
Is it me, or does it seem hot?
— Need I go on?
