Carole Duet Poet Lyric

Not a Race

I like to write songs,
I’ve got the beat
In my soul and in my feet.
I’ve got the beat,
I’ve got the beat,
I’ve got the beat.

Music puts me in a trance
And makes me want to do a dance.
I want to dance.
I want to dance.
I want to do a dance.

I’m not trying to hide it.
I just want to “sing-song” it.
To “sing-song” it,
To "sing-song" it.
I just want to “sing-song” it.

And I don’t care if in a contest I don’t place 
Because for me writing is not a race.
It's not a race,
Not a race,
Not a race.

Maria Williams May 10, 2018 at 7:04 AM I was reading the other day that out of all activities that stimulated the brain, dance came out the highest, the choreographed ones even more so. What a wonderful poem Carole, it makes me want to get up and dance right now, but i guess I'll do that later, sitting in front of the computer and reading your poem instead of working . Lol, great one and a fave....Maria xxx Carole Duet May 10, 2018 at 2:35 PM I know what you mean, Maria. I love to dance. It's so freeing...like writing. Thanks for your comment and the "fave".
