[stylist] Prompt- when we dance together

[Lynda Lambert]

Bridget-
thanks for your comments -
my poem is absolutely nothing like the song, except for the joy of dancing 
with a lover and how that feels.
I am hard core country rock - but I love 18th century (and really, all) 
Germanic classical music and 50s  HOT jazz (but I hate cool jazz) and most 
of all, Appalachian Old Time Mountain Music.

Lynda
