Take a Chance by HarryT
Alternate Poem writing prompt entry

Her girlfriend left, I had my chance
Remember my hands were soaking wet
Inner voice repeated, "Ask her to dance"
Licked my upper lip I tasted salty sweat

My heart was pounding against my chest
Felt my face flush red with flowing fear
Despite my nerves, I continued my quest
I went to her and whispered in her ear...

"Would you like to dance?"
She flipped her auburn hair
Her smile put me in a trance
So happy I took my heart's dare

Lifted her hand, we slow danced
She's forever locked in my heart
So glad I took that nervous chance
Sixty years later we've not been apart
