Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Dancer

Ever since I was just a tiny girl,
I have really wished to dance and twirl;
at five years old I did ballet,
and off the dance floor I would stray;
but I sure was pretty when I would whirl.

I did lots of falling down and stumbling,
and could sure keep the audience laughing;
it was clear I had no talent,
but I was a spud deviant;
so next came jazz-  I was great at hopping.

I loved it but was never very good,
the years have passed and I have left girlhood;
along the way I found Hip Hop,
and on the stage I still flip-flop;
crash, OUCH-  never to be my livelihood.

Gregory Richard Barden February 28, 2018 at 12:29 AM I love this Constance ... my first true love and soulmate was a ballerina, (and went to the ABT summer program at one time), so dance has always been a part of my life, (and my mom taught me to Jitterbug as soon as I could walk, and I taught my girls) ... I was never very good, either, but like poetry and the other arts, it's about the joy YOU get from it! Wonderful write - and already a winner, in my opinion! :-) <3 Constance La France March 3, 2018 at 9:39 AM Greg, thank you for that nice comment, yes doing something we love no matter what makes us winners ~
