1308

 It was much more than sitting,

Much more than applauding,

So much more than an evening

Out to see them dancing.


So much more than bodies twisting,

More than engaging

In those fine stories unfolding, 

To the attention of a spellbound audience,

Much more.

    Effective use of repetition, Gillena, and the use of the continuous tense makes it all very immediate.

    I really like how you chased down the word much and I had a lot of fun with it. It’s really nice.
