The Dance
October 5, 2009
She spun alone in a poorly lit hall,
Her ivory gown twirling around the night,
Picturing in the room a royal ball,
When effortlessly, from out of her sight
Emerged another from against the wall,
Illuminating the dark without light,
And their palms, in the dark of love's enthrall,
Kissed to turn and twist into sweet delight.
But with the morn' the sun began to rise,
He did not remain with her, but instead,
When seeing dawn by looking through her eyes,
Without a word, he returned to his bed.
For of her love, he was never apprised
As she was invisible; she was dead.

i really dont like love-ish poems (or at least I don't write them) but this has good imagery and unbiasedelly judging it, I would say it is very very good.

This piece had some great imagery, and I could truly picture some of the scenes you described. However, I didn't really catch on to the point or meaning of the poem, and I wasn't very impressed.

the second line really grabbed my attention: the ivory gown. the word ivory almost makes it sound more antique and older, which helps to refer to the last line, "she was dead" all in all, it was an amazing piece, good job!
