So You Think You Can Dance?

A Poem by Melody

I have no idea. Sometimes the writer doesn't even know.

So I hear,

You think you can dance?

Well, I'll show you a dance you have never danced before.

It starts with no music, just my solo and that's about it.

My feet will jitter like the wings on a lady bug.

My knees will shake like the Great 1906 quake.

My hips will move like slow crashing waves. Back and forth, back and forth.

My heart will beat a steady beat like a metronome in band class.

My breath will hasten like a car on a free way.

And my eyes will smile like a dog welcoming his long lost master.

So I hear,

You think you can dance?

Well, I just showed you a dance never danced before

This was very interesting. I enjoyed it a lot. It had an excited tone almost, and I could feel some energy about it. Very different, and refreshing.

Beautifully worded! Love the allegories and the flow of your poem. I totally love this line - "My feet will jitter like the wings on a lady bug."

Good job!

this is crafty and captures the melody of the flow, the play on words itself
represents the meaning, a delightful dance in thought, excellent job

Um, I can somewhat dance, not really, this is amazing, it would be fun to say this to someone who is bullying another person base on their dancing skills
