Worn Out Shoes

Teddy.15

 

She was a daydreamer

one who actually lived out her fantasies

her charm would have bowled anyone over

a mind of pure genius

anything could have sparked a poem

if she’d just let her imagination steer

she could have written a thousand books

maybe she did?

but her greatest love

was to dance every night

until the break of dawn with Mr Bojangles.

        Ahhhh I actually consider myself a daydreamer. I do let my imagination run wherever she wants, but I know how to ground her again! 😉 AND Mr. Bojangles....what a song!! Heard it a LONG time ago. Brings back memories. 💛

              Ah, this one is a beauty! I can hear "Mr. Bojangles" playing in the background, and see the daydreamer lost in her reverie. Thank you for such a happy thought dear friend.

              • Teddy.15

                Awe you are so welcome my dear Bella, thank you for coming by and leaving such kind words ❤️

                There is something about dancing that involves the whole body and soul, more expressive than song, it is a wonderful art and Mr. Bojangles is the right song for it. Daydreaming converted to dance how better to be oneself.

                • Teddy.15

                  Thank you dear Sorenbarret 🤗❤️

                  Excellent as per
                  Enjoyed the twirl
                  The repeat of" Was" rather than "is"
                  Tinged the sadness involved
                  An emotional dance

                  • Teddy.15

                    Thank you dear Peto ❤️

                  • L. B. Mek

                    just lovely dear Poetess

                    • Teddy.15
