I belong, as a contributing member, to a talented group of writers who are responsible for A Muse Bouche Review, a literary newsletter. It gives me a chance to write something new each month around a given theme, which I’m enjoying. The theme for April, 2024 is Dancing and my contribution this month is a poem titled Dancing About Architecture. Here’s how it starts:

______________________________________________________________________________

Someone (and opinions differ as to who that someone is) once said that
writing about music is like dancing about architecture,
and I think I understand what they were trying to say—
That describing any mode of creative expression with mere words on a page
is at best an exercise in futility
(how do you explain a series of notes that vibrate in tune with your soul)
and at worst does a disservice to both your written word
and the artform you’re attempting to elucidate.

But what if you could?
Dance about architecture, I mean.
