Na/GloPoWriMo 2026 Day 8

two left feet

I’m a terrible dancer
you don’t need to remind me
I suppose I’ll just sit here then
hold up the wall and watch, 
as you cut a rug, show me 
how it’s done…I’ll just
tap my toes under the table
so I don’t embarrass you when
we’re out in public, awkward me,
with my two left, flat feet, stiff hips, 
and too-long, flailing, orangutan arms. 
you don’t need to remind me

I’m a terrible dancer
the trees don’t seem to mind though
when we start to sway in unison 
my golden locks, their lush, sage leaves 
tossed by a gentle, cool spring breeze
the tall grass bending gracefully 
beneath my bare feet, caressing my skin
as the loam hums, birds trill, the hills swell 
in harmony, bird and butterfly wing flutters
sending whispers of breath past my ears…
I lose myself like dandelion fluff
twirling, twirling lightly on a dream
the trees don’t seem to mind though
I’m a terrible dancer

Na/GloPoWriMo 2026 Day 8 Prompt: use a simple phrase repeatedly, and then make statements that invert or contradict that phrase.

Always good for a glimmer…my dear sidekick Gabby. She is doing so well these days. On an herbal concoction from our holistic vet after our seed tick scare last month. The supplement aptly names I think…”Gracious Power”! You go Gabby Girl! ✨💚✨
