No Dancing On Sundays

Summary: No idea if this is the correct form but I read up and it might hit the mark. Mum used to tell me about when she would hide her dance shoes in the hedge to pick up later because she wasn't allowed to go dancing on a Sunday :-)

No dancing on Sundays
was the rule of the house
 
The house she grew up in
surrounded by love and God
 
The God who loved but craved
obedience on his day of days
 
For her, on his day 
she craved to worship
 
The heat of youth, worship
with friends and laughter
 
Her friends laughed as she
pulled her shoes from the hedge
 
Shoes she'd hidden as there was
no dancing on Sundays

Oonah will like this a lot, Jo. Don't worry about compliance with the 'form' - you've nailed it completely.

You know, I liked it when I first did it but sounds like repetition to me now...could be worked on with a bit more finesse :-).  Thanks Michael!

I do like it and its compliance to the form is perfect. I always find repetitious poems a bit of a nightmare to do. Never wrote a Villanelle in my life!!! But this works well, Jo.

Did you really go dancing on a Sunday, you naughty girl? laugh
