I Could Have Danced All Night
Your jacket was the color of cinnamon
Which brought out the green in your eyes.
I wore a dress—the deep, rich color of fresh beets.
You took my elbow and led me to the dance floor.
When the event was over,
You took me home and parked in the driveway.
You unscrewed the lightbulb in the carport
And we danced to the music on your car radio
Until we knocked over the car-wash bucket
And the neighbor yelled at us.
I didn’t lose a slipper that night,
But I definitely felt like Cinderella.

Great use of the word list prompt! There’s an expression of sweet romance beginning with the title! Well done!
Sweet poem and great use of the word prompt. Your poem flowed really well. I enjoyed many lines and the overall joyous/magical/romantic tone of the peom and then you added to it even more with the last two lines…
“I didn’t lose a slipper than night,
But, I definitely felt like Cinderella.” Excellent allusion.
