Dance Off by Rhonda Brown

There’s nothing like a country bear 
dancing at the county fair. 
Joining in, a city sow 
twirling to a graceful bow.
Hand-in-hand promenade stance, 
two partners, ready to dance.
With’a two-step wiggle-bop, 
jumping to a wobble-hop.
Polly pocket shuffle scoot, 
showing off in leather boots.

Here was second option: 
Hallo's Eve comes once a year 
when certain creatures reappear.
Pumpkin faces scare the dead, 
filling ghouls full of dread.
Jack-O-Lantern fools the gnome, 
we're disguised, free roam. 
Around the corner, house insight, 
dare we run with all our might. 
Safe inside, we dance with glee. 
Jack-O-Lantern smiles at me.
