Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday


Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 
Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Today's inspiration


Jitterbug

Dancers have great rhythm!
Movin' and groovin' to the tunes
They must practice their moves over and over.
He in the gym she in the studio
Cheek to cheek eyes locked on the other's
She must trust him as they bend and stretch
as he sweeps her off her feet.


Side story:
When I was a senior in high school, adult volunteers were needed.   My dad was an electrical contractor.   I volunteered Daddy to help with the lighting.  Daddy always had a good eye
for detail.  It was a magical night.
Little did I know, my parents and the other adult volunteers, would be asked to be chaperones at the Prom. When the music started, most of the kids didn't move.
The adults were the first on the floor...all about my parent's age.
Lo and behold they all started dancing the Jitterbug.
I had no idea my parents could move like that.

Sounds like the purr-fect combination for a successful relationship: love and laughter.

  1. Love the poem.
    We didn't have High School Proms in the UK and I think as a teenager I would have died of embarrassment is my parents had come along and taken to the dance floor!
    Happy Anniversary to Pup and Kat's Mom and Dad, and please thank them for the photos.
    Cheers! Gail.

    LOL - it is one of those rights of passage when we are young, I think, to see our parents as young and fun people themselves!

    Congrats to the Travellers for the special occasion!!! YAM xx

  23. I'm glad my son always saw me as the "cool" parent who could really dance. :) But I would have probably felt like you did when you saw your parents on the dance floor if my Mom had done that. Wishing Kat's parents many more happy years together. Amy
