She slips off her shoes and socks

Puts on her favorite music
Forgetting time
Inhabiting another space
Allowing the beat to rule
Immersing in the melodic journey
Her motions joyous offerings
Bodily prayers of sweat and toil
Dancing Goddess worship
Dark depressive demons foil
It’s Quadrille #105: Cry Havoc and Let ‘SLIP’ the Dogs of War at dVerse.

Nice line: “Bodily prayers of sweat and toil”
Thank you! That’s what it feels like sometimes. Tonight where such a night! :-)
when I am on here tonight my favourite tune will be on. your words will dance in my head untill the beat takes me.
My fave line- “immersing in the melodic journey’- wonderful!
Nice images of conquering the darkside with wild dancing
Happy Monday

I’ve always envied those who can express themselves so beautifully in motion. Lovely write.
The slipping off of shoes and socks is so evocative, and your character could be about to paddle in the sea or relax after a long day, but barefoot dancing is so liberating, the poem burst into life. I love the way the music moves her to Inhabit another space in order to foil those demons. The monochrome image is perfect for your quadrille.
Wow! what a lovely piece. I really liked the last 4 lines :)
Embodyment, grounding deeper, I love how she reorients to joy.
Dancing is a good way to cope with stress. (K)
Dancing sounds like a wonderful relief.
Woah, it was all smooth and lovely then the eerie twist at the end, beautiful writing
Wowww!! I love this especially; “Her motions joyous offerings/Bodily prayers of sweat and toil.”❤️
Joyous dancing truly chases away so many demons. Loving this! Love the rhyming that anchors it all so nicely.
Nice!! Happy dancing!
