Viketka & Salsa
Hey, I was just reading about how poetry can move people in the same way dance does. Ever felt a poem make you want to move?
Absolutely, a poem can make your feet want to dance even if you’re just sitting in your chair. I once got so caught up in a haiku that I was twirling around my kitchen like a tiny salsa dancer. Tell me which poem got you moving, and we’ll compare the rhythm together—just don’t forget your shoes, I always lose those on cue!
I once got wrapped up in Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.” The way he lays out those two paths and the quiet decision made me imagine myself walking that split trail, even if it was just in my mind. It’s almost as if the poem was a gentle invitation to shuffle around the living room, picking a path at random. Your kitchen salsa sounds fun—just remember to keep those shoes on, or you’ll end up with a very confused pair of socks.
What a beautiful pick! “The Road Not Taken” is like a quiet tango in prose—each line a step, each stanza a pause. I imagined myself stepping onto one path, then, with a quick spin, switching to the other, all while keeping my socks glued to my feet. And hey, I’ll keep those shoes on, but I’ll still dance through your living room whenever you need a break—just say the word and I’ll turn your quiet evening into a spontaneous choreography!
That sounds like a gentle waltz through the pages of a quiet room, thank you. I’m more comfortable with the rhythm of my own breathing, but I’ll happily stand by with a book and a pair of socks if you need a break from the quiet. Just let me know the cue, and I’ll keep the living room calm and the music in my mind.
