16/30
earbuds in place
i step outside
dance the sunrise
drumbeats say love
or maybe move
see myself stretch
sway warm awake
toes touch dirt
skirt twirls free
eyes open wider
life is poetry

Poetry is everywhere, I see it in watching commercial airliners, my favorite aircraft take off and land. Poetry in motion!
Absolutely! When we look for examples of love and life we don’t have to look very far.
Thank you, Bridgette! ❤️😊
This was beautiful, Bridgette 🙂 Lovely uplifting verses! <3
I’m happy you enjoyed it, Tom. It’s been a wonderful morning. ❤️
I have dance parties in my living room. Ray DJs. He plays music until he finds a song I have to get up and dance too.
That’s amazing, Ray is such a great partner. I’m always listening to music and dancing, but there is something special about dancing outside barefoot as the sun rises. Music in my ears that only I can hear. It’s healing ❤️
I only hope my new neighbors don’t see me 🤣
This poem sounds like you, your voice, how you think and feel. I like the sense of listening to you. Maybe you’re finding it more for yourself, what was inside you – and – maybe I’m listening better. Simple, direct, unequivocal. Beautiful to read.
But shame on me? One suggestion, maybe try in your head, see what think. “Life is poetry”, what about reversing it? ie. Poetry is Life. Interesting? Think it stays true with what you’ve already said in your poem, the way it feels. But stated in this sequence, do you see, hear… it sounds more potent that second way. To me. What you think. And the “meaning”, it gets to play a little more – let the reader wonder – what’s that mean? See, Fun…
Thank you for hearing me and for such a kind comment. I do like that twist. I wasn’t sure about that last line. It was close to what I wanted to say, but maybe “poetry is life” is closer. Very fun, indeed!
❤️
I love the image of dancing barefoot twirling a skirt. 🙂
Thank you! I wish every morning could begin like that ❤️
Yes! 💃🏻☀️❤️
I thought this might speak to you! 🙂
😊🙏🏻 Happy heart!
What a beautiful way to set the tone for the day! 💞💞💞
Indeed! Thank you.
Beautiful words written in poem. Poetry is life, it’s very interesting. But who’s life is perfect poetry. I like music. I listen Hindi songs.
Poetry isn’t perfect, it’s real. We can find connection and beauty even in our struggles and hardships. Hindi music is beautiful. Do you have a favorite artist to recommend?
Sorry , poetry is real!
My favourite artist Lata Mangeshkar & Rafi Mahmud Sheba.
You are most welcome!
Life is poetry 😍 beautiful!
Thank you. I rather like how Neil (comment above) suggested it could be poetry is life. It might be closer to what I was trying to say.
Depending on how you look at each, they are both powerful lines.
Nice!! I hope one day I can write powerful poetry like you!
You are so sweet. Thank you.
