the 10 of 12 given words:
mundane bedroom apply trapeze 
swing act gravity need work feat

not for the mundane but the graceful
not to dance in the bedroom but the ballroom
one-two-three, one two three a move so beautiful
waltzing as fast as the eyes could consume

very much as a high-flying trapeze artiste
to swing with long strides to the left
an act seemingly to defy gravity so polished
measured steps to the right not bereft

of movements across the length of the floor
a need to work with precision so refined
a feat to demand an encore
to apply the required move so defined

  1. This has a lovely dance of a rhythm to it, and I love how you create a refined, graceful and elegant dance, as befits a waltz!

  4. This well describes the sweeping moves of the professional ballroom dancers. For the average blokes, waltzing is a bit more sedate, but still a wonderful rhythm to it.

  6. I like the polished skill you describe that is needed to create such a feast for the eyes of the onlookers.
