The book Poems That Dance tells a story.
Read it from start to end
to make the greatest impact.
As you read each poem
listen to the voice in your head
that rejoices in the tone,
and enjoy the spices of dance
in life,
And make it yours. 

You can also enjoy the free audio accompaniment and view presentations of my poems by following: www.poemsthatdance.com

Occasionally I used invented spelling.
I also used Greek, German, Serbian and Spanish to enhance the meaning and tone of each poem. You will find these in italic. My use of language is influenced by the cultural perspectives I gained living and traveling abroad, and growing up bilingual Greek and English in Australia, my home.

I will place these along with the meaning soon.

Like every girl I wished upon a star.
I had an intimate dream.
A secret dream.
And as I kept this secret inside
I traveled on this path, namely life.
Instincts flew
And my dream grew
Unawares of where it came from
I realized I was dancing all along.
