I am so glad you enjoyed this. As a writer , I found it fascinating to see what inspired the poem and where Rita Dove took the inspiration. Her poem is beautifully distilled from so many emotions and circumstances to the meaning/experience of the dance. Thanks for listening and commenting.
Hello– Bruce and I were one of those couples who watched everyone else take ballroom dancing and we briefly considered it but then we went on playing music. A dance in its way I guess. Thanks for sharing your story.

Yes, we can see poetry can spring from all sorts of life happenings–even a disaster or tragedy. Even her voice talking about the fire and afterwards shows a resilient spirit that carries over to the poem. Thanks for commenting.
