A Ball Room

A chandelier hangs above the dancers.
Light is reflected against the stone floors.

The crowd twirls, figures moving in a blur.
In the corner, near the drinks, a man stands.

He gazes across the room, his eyes bright.
He cannot help but smile when he sees her.

She is the woman in red with dark lochs.
Diamonds cling to her throat as she moves.

She smirks before grabbing her husband’s arm.
Man and Wife swim in a sea of color.

I wrote this piece when I was told by my writing class instructor to write a 10X10 poem.

FFLOL, a poem doesn't need to rhyme.

"Love is just a word until someone special comes along and gives it a meaning."

"I love walking in the rain, 'cause then no one can tell I'm crying."

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."

Oh, wow! This is beautiful. It reminds me of "Someone Like You" by Adele. It's beautiful. I love unrequited love. However, I would have kind of prefered some rhyme to it. To me, it's not a poem unless it has rhyme. Then it's just a drabble, but this is very good for your first try. I give you four stars. :D
