sometime i dance
on a pin’s head
wondering
would it be easier
to thread a needle
sew the lid shut
but the music
it would still be calling

The music ALWAYS calls, doesn’t it? Tiny dancer indeed!

LOL Yes.
March 4th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
We cannot escape the siren call of the music in our souls, can we?
March 5th, 2010 at 8:26 am
Rocks or not.

Very intersting perspective! Never did have my own music box- remember my neighbors with a tiny dancing ballerina tho- so cute it was.
The music always calls me, tho I don’t always dance. Tunes appear in my head n i wonder how they got there…
Thanks for the visit to ESR today!

Love hearing the music.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:03 am
I wonder what made you think of this… The music will always call, let’s give in to it.
March 5th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Actually, Horton made me think of it. Someone had a post about Dr. Suess a few days back.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:24 am
Thanks for stopping by the other day.. I loved my music box when I was a little girl. It was fun to watch the girl go round and round..
Have a great weekend.

March 5th, 2010 at 9:20 am
I think it is always there if we keep listening for it.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:29 am
I like that metaphor, sometimes I feel like I”m dancing on the head of a pin myself. I wonder – would it be easier to thread the needle or impale myself upon it.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Are we looking for ease?
March 5th, 2010 at 10:23 am
This is one of those poems which can have multiple interpretations and each would be wonderful…loved how you played with the words

March 5th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
too bad you had to just keep winding it and winding it to keep it going…
lovely sentiments though…
March 5th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
but the dancing was the reward for the winding…
March 10th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Let’s dance!!
What kind of music do you like to dance?
Take care!!!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:03 am
I love all music. Anything with a beat will get me dancing.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:53 am
I had one of those boxes when I was a girl… I loved that thing… til the little ballerina had bent one too many times, and wouldn’t stand up on that pin strait anymore. I remember feeling sorry for her… and myself.. but, really, she was a lot more realistic that way… I should have been happy for her that the pressure to be perfect was gone!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:04 am
The pin is challenge enough.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:58 am
I like this on too, i can respect where it is coming from. Good Job
March 17th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Thanks, not sure everyone has the musicbox dancer memories.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:27 am
Extraordinary! May I squeeze it?? L.K.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Thank you for the squeeze!
March 14th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
I know the feeling. I literally tried to sew the door shut on the music, but it still seems to find a way through the cracks and all the little spots I missed. Love it, J!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:06 am
Music is good that way.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm
