Soran, the reply box is not working! So I shall write a reply out here in the comment box but PH probably won't notify you that I have replied because I used the comment box instead of the broken reply box. Conundrum. I am glad you enjoyed the square dance!
I know you are writing a little, but you are writing very good quality. Congratulations
step around the night stand all contrite …… and tomorrow we'll do it all over again!
Dera madam Hi, thank you for this precious piece of work. The Meaning beyond words is DEEPEER than we deal with it as a daily or annual routine. Firstly, this poem talks about the life cycle and its PHILOSOPHY. Second, in the light of this poem, we know the poet’s interest in the world of poetry and even writing her daily memoirs through it, you are a truly brilliant poet and living poetic life too,10++ and to my favorites list.
This poem invites me to go through it for its decency and amusing expression with nice theme. The beginning lines.....'Moving Furniture Out and Moving Furniture In..... Is A Square Dance With A Spin! ' are much enchanting. Really this is one of your marvelous poem. Thanks again.
House work takes up a huge % of a wife's day- -so, rebel that I am, I had to have a bit of fun with spring cleaning and moving the furniture around. I am very pleased if I I can give you a laugh and a do-se-do! ! !
i like non-serious! ! ! i was about to don my cowboy boots and embroidered shirt! but this sounds like too much work! (the action of the poem) it's cute. to MyPoemList. bri :)
Glad you liked this piece of humor- had a bit of fun writing it! Thank you for the placement on your Poem List.
This puts a smile on my face! I used to square dance when I was a kid and the music flowed here. I love how you made the mundane and ordinary into a musical dance. A square dance no less...one with rules and rhythms, and of course, squares, like the four corners of a bed or a bureau. Keep singing, keep dancing, and spin!
Good! ! When I write humor, I pray that it puts a smile on the lips and laughter in the heart, sometimes both writer and reader need a break from the seriousness of life. I tried to be an adequate square dancer- I soom learned I was more agile in the stirrups rather than on a floor! I respect your talent in this area- -boy, do I ever! Stay blessed, Jette!
Wow! It is a very captivating poem having full of humour. It makes me zeal to read more and more. All lines are amusing. Let me quote some lines here.... Change Your Partners With A Shout.... and take that bureau right back out Allemande Left And Allemande Right.... step around the night stand all contrite Circle Left And Circle Right.... and walk that armoir across the room and out of sight. Thanks a lot.
I am glad I've given you a chuckle with this piece of fun and frolic. Amusing needs to be a part of our everyday laugh for both our physical health and our mental health. So I'm just doing a community service thing here ;)
I dont think I have read so much enthused about moving, your either a true poet or a mad woman who finds enjoyment in the torture of moving large objects, at either rate Ill go with poetic genius for finding the humor in one of the more frusterating endevours in lifes peculiar tapestry. I'm not much for a square dance, but you got this down with the square root of pie.
hahahahahahahahahahaha- -you weren't supposed to pick up on the mad housewife part of my persona! ! ! ! ! I hope you found a laugh or smile or two in reading this- twas its only purpose in life! ! Getting down with the Square root of pie! ! ! ! Ha! ! ! I'm not the only one whose humor is very very punny ;)
This is really smart writing. Witty, humorous but with underlying meanings. Well, moving furniture might well be a metaphor for life. It's good to dance your way through life but life is heavy at times like furniture and you have to juggle and shuffle with loads on you. A very clever work. A huge 10.
Nosheen, I so look forward to reading your comments! You always pay heed to the message and to all the details of how the message was couched.Thank you for taking the time to read me and and to share your thoughts about it and for the encouraging 10! .
This is really funny, Susan! Did you sing while you moved? Makes a chore into something enjoyable. Clever poem.
Thank you, Laurie... but no I didn't sing [hummed a bit under my breath though] because I really truly haven't a voice that can hold a tune but I hummed to try to get a certain square dance beat to this- -emphasis on tried.... I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope if you think about it when doing household chores it makes your life a little easier amd your tasks a little more cheerful!
i smiled reading this, susan, so thank you. since my wife is fond of change, i'm familiar with this dance. (: ]) ]
Chuckling here- - my Mom used to change the furniture around when my Dad worked swing shift- -he'd come home in the dark and we were all asleep until he'd run into a piece of furniture and bust a shin or stub a toe and then we'd hear him yelp and mutter something unintelligible!
This is amazing, Susan. I can even hear the caller in the background as I read the words. There's also a point in this verse that the rhythm almost gives way to a riff from Tom Cochrane's Life is a Highway. Now, is it possible to square dance, with furniture, on a highway- that is life? ? A terrific poem and another 10.
You always bring something different to the comment table! ! ! No wonder I look forward to your comments. Moving down That Highway of Life with our furniture and singing that song- - doesn't that perk up our spirits? ? ? ? Thank you for your joy in poetry and in commenting on them and for the 10- - - -makes me want to do a little square dance.! ! !
I just read this jovial poem of moving furniture out and in. I could totally identify with this movement - you have given it a nice description. 'A square dance with a spin' - i just loved this expression, Susan. Whole of my life, i have been doing this, moving from place to place and always arranging things. I always thought it to be a tedious affair. But now, after reading your poem, i realise that we need to look at the lighter side of things rather than grumbling about it. My next moving of furniture, i shall come back to read this poem again. Many many thanks. :) A big TEN
Now that is a huge compliment! ! ! Wow! ! ! That in the past when you moved furniture it was an unpleasant chore but now when you move you'll think of this poem and make it a thing of joy. WoW! ! ! ! What a wonderful thing to say to an author. YOU have absolutely made my day! ! ! A big thank you! ! ! ! ! !
You can be our dance caller anytime, Sizzling Susan! You got rhythm, you got music. So many funny lines this has to be removed into my favourites' list!
Mr. Purry and you can lead the square dance anytime, I can just see you two! ! ! ! Thank you Tom for your sweet comments and putting it on your Fav list where I hope it gets played like a juke box! ! !
Oh, What A Brilliant Poem! ! ! ! ! This Is Awesome! ! ! ! ! Incredible! ! ! ! ! Love It! ! ! ! ! Love The Flow! ! ! ! ! Of This Very, Musical Poem! ! ! ! ! Excellent! ! ! ! ! Many Many 10S! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ++++++ God Bless! ! ! ! !
My dear Rebecca! You would so fit into a square dance with your vivacity and love of life! ! ! ! Thank you for the joy and the 10! ! ! !
It is good to see something light.... till now this is looking light that is also good. best wishes
Yes, we need to feed our souls from a platter of humor to counter act the plate of woe that is served to us by life. Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend.
- - -and tomorrow we will do it all over again- - -Very unique- - - Moving furniture may not be a poetic subject, but your style makes it so- - -Moving furniture- -cleaning and dusting- - a tiring and drab job- -but we have to do it some times - - - And we have to do it again after some days , otherwise dirt will settle.there.We can say this about our inner and outer sphere.
Bharati, what you say is so true. Our lives- -those numbered short circuits around the sun- - are indeed chock full of routine labor.... yet we need a clean nest, we need good food to fuel our bodies so we must clean, we must cook, and we must work from 9-5.... but we who write have an advantage- -we can paint ourselves into a different sphere, into an adventure of the heart or soul. And people who love to read- -they too can go to faraway places and faraway times and live deep... we are a fortunate people!
Hi Susan, Nice poem. Reflective of lovely nursery rhymes. Reminiscent of our younger days. Rhythmic as dance songs. It is real fun reading it. Read it aloud. Over and over. Enjoyed. Lovely!
You are very kind, my friend. I had a moment of fun writing it, kept my mind preoccupied with the trivial... but I did find a bit of comfort in this piece- - Life has its cruel edges but it also has these soft moments of humor and joy in the simple things of life... so maybe I did a bad thing... thinking housecleaning is a trivial pursuit... it really isn't is it?
