Poem 1 – The Hula Girl

The hula girl dances

On the windowsill

Driven by the fire

Of the sun,

Passed, by the clouds

Racing in the wind.

She knows not why

She dances.

She will never feel

The earth beneath

her plastic feet.

She will never

Submerge herself

In sparkling waters.

She knows not

why she dances.

Hi all, this is my first poetry marathon or any other kind of marathon  (although I used to eat them back in the 80s). I’m nervous I may have bitten off more than I can chew but really excited by this challenge.

I have written since I was a kid of about 7/8, but only recently had a resurgence having spent a lot of time parenting. I’m still parenting but just finding some time for myself too.
