Determined Dancer

Creative poetry extra challenge: 3rd set: devious, temperamental, proactive, persistent, dominant, charismatic

Persistent rehearsals

for the night of truth...

recital night,

hoping to make it

to the top of the pack...

competition dancing,

proactive and ready

to show off what I've learned,

tempermental backstage

because of my nerves

trying to overcome the feeling

"I'm going to mess up"

charismatic with it being my first recital

compared to other people who have danced for years

devious in getting the audience

to connect with the dance,

dominant and proud

of the cheering

when we're finished

determined to get what I want...

I'll do whatever it takes

to get where I want to go

Author's Note

I've been dancing for a year now and what I really want to do is competition dance.. I really hope I can.

It seems a little forced, like it doesn't really belong in poem format...or there might be a better way you could phrase your ideas to make it more engaging. Perhaps breaking it up into stanzas with each one dealing with a different aspect--your preparation, ambition, nerves, etc. But as someone who used to love dancing, I could relate to this.

In dance and in life, keep those last two lines strong in your mind. Nice write.

Determination is what gets you far in life. Don't ever give up on your dreams. This is a good poem.

You expressed how you felt in this poem so well I could picture it! Great work! Keep on penning.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a great way to describe dancing and the determination that it takes to achieve the goals you have in mind. This poem allowed me to feel the emotion and let me know the person's personality.

It is good like this to express yourself before hand, it can help calm the nerves. It is a real rush to perform in front of others.
