Dance Poem by Erica German

Dance



The spotlight brightens
The music begins
I'm up on my toes
as I twirl and spin
I jump and I leap
From one side to another
feeling just the music
never any other.
I raise up in pointe
then down in plie
performing what i've practiced
for so long every day.
To dance is my dream,
I can't let it die
for when I do dance
I feel I can fly
The world can disapear
My troubles can cease
For just one moment
I am truly at peace.

wow, this is really pretty. the short lines and lack of punctuation create a sense of rhythm and flow. similar to actual dancing, whether this was intentional or not, who knows, but your love for dance is expressed very well.
