Notes About The Poem

The Dancer


    I consider myself quite the dancer,
    so, of course I joined a dance class;
    but there is a problem with my feet,
    most of the time they are just stuck;
    and my legs have a routine their own,
                and sometimes both my knees buckle.
    I swirl and twirl, dip and leap high,
    and swing my arms in all directions;
    and my salsa hips, oh la la la la,
                in my head- I am a floating butterfly.
