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. ____________________________ February 24, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/The Dancer Copyright Protected, ID 9980-01-01 All Rights Reserved.

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
