160: The Dancer


Overcome with music
She sways in joyous dance.

She cares not where she is
Or what passers-by may think.
The only thing she notices
Is that the muse began to sing.

************************************
This is my offering for Sunday 160, hosted by Monkey Man here.

  1. oh, Patti! what a rich image!
    did you take it?
    I am happy when I dance, and I've found my muse again.
    no more naps, just a day alone, even in the car, is enough.....

  2. Dianne, I'm so happy you've found your muse. I think she is in fine form after reading your 160. Yes, I took this picture. There was an outdoor sculpture show scattered all around a nearby town, and this lady was dancing on the steps of an old church. I think dancing makes her happy too.

  4. I love to dance-- nice photo wouldn't mind having that piece of art --- your 160 muse: The poet is inspired by the muse , and sensing the beauty in the movement of the muse, poetry burst through encapsulating them both. Beautiful you and your muse.

    Cheers,

  6. That sculpture looks like she is, indeed, having a joyous dance. I wish she was dancing in my garden so I could look at her every day.

  19. That is certainly an awesome piece; sculpture, photo and 160 to go with it. I too can get swept away by music at times and care not a whiff what people think when the music takes me

  22. She: Children have that marvelous ability to just go with the flow, and not let inhibitions stand in the way. When do we lose that, I wonder?
