    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.

    Nice job in the comparison of a dance to life. Very well written and a good read.

    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

  • 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 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.
    Made up of choices,
    you'll have to make.
