Notes About The Poem
The Dance of...in 16 lines or less Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Miranda Hawley

The dance of dances

As a dancer one day
I was in love to to be dancing.
As a dancer one day,
my feet couldn't stand on.
Rehearsing for hours for nothing, 
but bleeding, 
on a dance permormance
I couldn't be anymore.

The dance of dances
for me has reached the end. 
My dance shoes still feet me
but the steps don't feet 
my shoes to keep dancing on
the big stage to be dreaming.

Under the limelight 
I want to disappear
to be dancing all my life 
the dance of dances
I couldn't do in front.
