The Dance

by Brittany C   Nov 15, 2008


Lets dance
Through the hard times
Full of uncertainty

Trying your best
To stay in step
Don't lose track
Of where you are.

Don't give up
When the steps are hard.
Just slow down some
And you will learn.

You might step
on a few toes along the way.
Just apologize and move on.
Never linger too long.

You might mess up
A time or two
But that's ok
You'll get past it.

Life is a dance
That everyone has joined.
Made up of choices
You'll have to make.

    I really enjoyed this poem. I think that it needs punctuation. I know certain poems don't really need it, but sometimes it just helps with the flow and such. Other than that, I think you've done a good job of wording it and showing the emotions. I really liked the meaning of it and how you compared it to a dance. I did change a few in the third and fourth stanzas because I thought it sounded better there. The flow was okay, but it just read better.

    I think the punctuation would work like this:

    Let's dance
    through the hard times,
    full of uncertainty.

    Trying your best
    to stay in step -
    don't lose track
    of where you are.

    Don't give up
    when the steps are hard.
    Slow down some
    and you shall learn.

    You might step on a
    few toes along the way.
    Apologize and move on,
    never linger too long.

    You might mess up
    a time or two.
    But that's okay,
    you'll get past it.

    life is a dance
    that everyone has joined.

  • This was a really good poem. I get the meaning of it. But, I've gotta say that the flow is a bit scratchy. It was still a great poem. Good job.

    I love the random rhymes throughout the poem. I especially love these lines.

    "Don't lose track
    Of where you are.

    Don't give up
    When the steps are hard."

    "Just apologize and move on.
    Never linger too long."

    Great work! 5/5

    Wow the last stanza pretty much said it all in just a few words.. really it did. I loved how you took life and dance and made it a huge metaphor.. this poem was simple but it definatly does speak the truth.. I loved it, it was a unique write and I enjoyed it very much. :]

    5/5.
