Notes About The Poem

And So It Begins

And so it begins...

    A dazzling display of showmanship
        A very stiff dance competition 
          Observed by a live audience 
   By four judges sitting in the front row

      Meticulous; they don't miss a thing
   The dancing prowess of every performer 
The twirls, the shuffles, the oohs and aahs
              The missteps, the works

         Hoofers take to the dance floor
    One after the other in pursuit of glory
              Each one aiming to please
    To steal the show, to come out on top

               All dance routines ending
                 In thunderous applause
        They all make it hard for the judges
                    To pick a sole winner

              It's a mesmerizing experience...
