dancing in the moonlight 300x300 Dancing in the Moonlight
He loves her -
her red bonnet
identical
matching strands
of hair.
He loves the
way she moves,
dancing -
his red
whiskers tickle
her freckled
face.

She watches him,
while he flirts
beneath the brim
of his straw hat.
She twists her
body to the left,
needing not his
tender touch.

He wraps his
arms about her
waist…
while touching
bows, ribbons
and petticoats.
He kicks his
feet pebbles
they fly…
lifting sand
into the air.

She, listens
to a crowd laugh –
reckless as they
clap, cheer, gulp
beer, in midnight
air – knowing how

life will be

on Friday.

    Nancy,
    Thid is…Bedecked in an array of exuberantly ebuliant & subtle yet celebrated briliance dripping from each eartickling syllable.
    vr,
    mr.j

  2. Although I am not sure where embarrassing for women comes into play, perhaps you can expand your reply? I believe the scene of two people, one not sure if she loves him, and one sure of love – maybe where you are coming from, but not sure. This is in the 1800′s when women were women and nothing more. Sincerely, Nancy

  3. Dear MrJ

    I am pleased that you were with me, regarding the moment. You are so right when you feel subtle words, voices, and actions. And then again, it was a different age, wasn’t it? Thanks so much. Nancy

  4. I loved this, Nancy. It’s so visual and so beautifully written. Thanks for sharing it.

  5. TruePoetry says:

    Simplicity in life, simplicity in love…Her attention distant while he is so close in heart, face to face as described; wondering if the shuffling from his touch is crowd initiated; for long ago women were more careful of morals and how they were portrayed by others eyes. This is nice, soft, and direct; leaving one wondering where her heart truly is!

  6. Nancy Duci Denofio says:

    WOW I love those reviews, and they mean so much to me. Thanks to you both for sharing. Love having you read my work… Sincerely Nancy

A writer most of her life: Included poetry, short stories and journals - memoir which begins in 1892, based on a true story of a strong woman, her Grandmother fighting for the rights of her sons. She continues to write at least three to four different styles of writing a day. One journal of her older journals took place during the late sixties and she is considering this as a true story. As a teenager, she was a freelance writer for Seventeen Magazine. In college, she was an editor for the College Paper. Nancy took to the stage in her youth, and offered a permanent part on The Patty Duke Show through a friend she met while performing in The Sound of Music. She was offered a scholarship to the American Academy of Dance at sixteen, and performed along with Wilson Picket and the Union Gap, and others, remembering youth, and Mustang Sally. She taught dance, in the early 70's. She won several titles along the way but her most important was Woman Writer of the Year in 1994 from Notre Dame College. Her challenge is to have her epic novel edited, she tells many she sees it, since she is legally blind, which took her other passion away, photography, but still sketches and oil paints. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1986, when they told her she would never walk again, nor see. She does both. She is determined to do all she had planned and more. A life of stories and imagination has filled thousands of pages. She had kept them to herself until this past March when her publisher found her on Twitter when fighting health care reform. She thought, someone, someday would read her work. A publisher’s dream, when someone has written all their life and never published a book, only in journals and magazines or newspapers. She loves history, science, medicine after writing. Moreover, finds the arts relaxing. As an advocate for the people she has learned how people suffer, and continues to follow the recent and past, and the political arena. Once a spokes person for First Lady Hillary Clinton, after her first speech at a college in Albany NY, she rode with the Presidents cabinet up and down the east coast, stopping on the way to speak once more. During her political journey, she interviewed one on one, Lamar Alexander, Robert Dole, Arlen Specter, and others. Invited as speaker on issues regarding Health Care, Women's Issues, Education, Domestic Violence, families, and more. She reads at local open mics, and is a strong worker for other authors to promote their work - or set up workshops in her area. Recently she taught at WWAM at Skidmore College. A member of the International Women's Writers Guild for 25 years, which brought her to one on one work with individual writers. Invited to several private locations - teaching younger children the value in writing and creating characters - ideas, and promote writing. She is an avid reader. Inspired by her Sicilian Grandmother who told stories of her life in Sicily, giving her a clear image for her epic novel beginning in 1892. Brought up with a father, who was Mayor of her hometown for 16 years, in politics since the day she was born, and learned public speaking through him. As she watched him write, his own speeches, and then give them to a full house. Her mother, Irish, and filled with imagination, creativity, stories of Shakespeare, Limericks, and more - one of 18 children, her mother dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Born in Schenectady NY - she now resides in Saratoga Springs NY with her husband. She is the mother of two daughters and has five grandchildren. She continues on the paths that she loves writing, editing, speaking, and advocacy. Her love of people and what she observes, hears, and experiences remains inside like permanent ink, this has been the case since childhood. She hears your writing and can pick up every error, and turn your work into what you dreamed it would be, she believes through her poor eyesight and great memories.
