A sequence of steps,
physical bodies in motion
shadows reconnect.

It may be ballet or jazz,
our canon of action,
a breathy breakdance.
retro, folk or techno,
unexpected unison.

Its outcome a surprise.
Whether desired or despised,

real love is improvised.

  1. where do you come across these interesting characters? I looked her up, watched the video: glad I did. She follows her own path; I like your rendition of the song: fully agreed: ‘real love is improvised’ 🙂

    1. Thank you, John. I like new music, so I listen to new music blogs on the way to and from work. She was a fun find this past week. Decided to put on her music and pick up a pen, it was as easy as that. Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I agree, improvisation makes for the best romances.

        They’d better prep a full garden enclosure with its own pond 😉 ❤

        Glad you enjoyed my previous story 🙂 hope it wasn’t too lengthy or overfilled with characters.

      6. Definitely not too long. I think it’s one of those stories that might sit on the grill and a few things might slide off, but the end result is a delicious dinner. I love the idea of those milk maidens, and the entire setting is super compelling.💜

        Really thrilled it stood out for you! 🙂 I tried experimenting with a few different descriptions and worldbuilding, so if any passages resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

      8. Well, of course, I loved the underwater imagery of the bar. The description of the manager and the dancers. I think that was my favorite part. You’re such a wise wordsmith. Not a syllable wasted, which I love. I liked the idea of untrustworthy partners, but I think some of the #411 could be stretched if it was a longer piece. Like a bit firehose-like in some areas. I prefer to sip these sorts of things…💜
