An Interweaving duet adapted from “Harmony”
By STORYTELLER AND THE RELUCTANT POET
My Heart is empty,
without you
But it still aches,
and won’t stop
when I hear someone say your name,
I pray it’s not you
I turn around and there you are,
holding her
Dancing with her,
cheek to cheek
In perfect Harmony,
while my heart skips a beat

Clearly, you are enticing me to dive backwards into Storyteller’s work! Great piece, like a romance.

Ha! Ha! Yes, that might be something we could both give in too?? I’m see a light at the end of the tunnel on my current Back Catalogging. Is there a line outside the door??
Thank you so much for your comment and kind words! Storyteller deserves the credit for being able to coax the sprinkle of words from me! Yes, that is exactly what I told her when I first read “Harmony”! I told her it was almost like an old Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film.

A pleasure Charles. May I suggest a pogo to the Sex Pistol’s, Anarchy in the UK.

The pogo was a dance that encapsulated the punk era in the UK Charles. You just jumped up and down, like you were on a pogo stick and bounced into people. It was great for people with two left feet, like myself.

Bravo! Chuck ….. Applause👏👏👏
An Apt response to ‘Harmony’ I couldn’t have written it better myself and Thank you for taking this poem and weaving the Magic of the Reluctant Poet into it.
This was fun and may it be the first of many more collaborations.
