IIce Challenge #2 - Spinning Brains

[TranquillityBase]

I’ve carried many a monkey

Smart monkey.

As to another three characters, well, take your pick: Marquis de Sade, Lenin, innumerable lost loves.....I didn't like, plan this out.  Just waited for the voice in my head.

Prose entries are just fine ,though, considering how it's formatted, it easily fits
the definition of a poem as well. And yeah, dogs, I have one that goes over to
the door and barks when he thinks it's time to take him for a walk -- which he
thinks is necessary more often than I do sometimes.

I'm impressed with your poem, especially what's in the bags. I was prosaically
thinking of physical objects that were literal or direct metaphors. I'm delighted
you extended the metaphor to human characters and dancing. It fits so naturally,
but I never would have thought of that in a thousand years (or in Circe's case
almost three thousand).

Don Juan, Dionysius, Elvis, Goebbels, Circe, Elizabeth Taylor, Joshu... What an
amazingly diverse  smorgasbord you have concocted. I'm dazzled by the voices
in your head.

And even associating Zen with "dancing without moving". Wow.

Thanks Ray.  I really enjoyed writing it.  Sometimes, when they are not plaguing me with my short-comings, the voices in my head let me have a little fun.  I hope there's one more challenge before January expires.
