[stylist] Prompt_When we dance together

[Barbara Hammel]

You do such a great job with the pantoum!
I must confess, I have no appreciation for your subject here, because I've 
only ridden on a cycle once and I'm scared to death of the raucous things. 
I hope you now get to ride behind someone else on one or that you soon shall 
find something else to give you that thrill.  I'm so glad, though, that you 
have the memories to fall back on, though at times they can make you a 
little sad.

The whole time I was reading that poem, I was so nervous.  LOL!

Whew! My poem is now ready!
First line is from a song - as required.
Some other images from the same song appear in the poem, too.
I have copied it below, and attached it as well.

Here we go!



"When We Dance Together"



When we dance together, my world's in disguise

Concealed  behind black leather jackets

Dense  fringes snap in the wind

We spiral downward  - a  bizarre  fairyland tale.



Concealed  behind black leather jackets

I hunker down against the brisk mountain air

We spiral downward - a bizarre  fairyland tale

Wild rock-n-roll women in masquerade.



I hunker down against the brisk mountain air

The throbbing steel tank between my legs

Wild rock-n-roll women in masquerade

Neon surges through our veins.



The  throbbing steel tank between my legs

with the rumble of Cobra Drags

Neon surges through our veins.

Lean into the slant wind that blows us around.



with the rumble of Cobra Drags

We ride side by side, with stars in our eyes

Lean into the slant wind that blows us around.

I raise the fist of my  icy cold left  hand



We ride side by side, with stars in our eyes,

on the rough pavement of the dance floor

I raise the fist of my icy cold left hand

Reach out to catch the storm.





On the rough pavement of the dance floor

Laughing with the painful gusts of rain

Reach out to catch the storm

Dancing  together  in disguise.
