POEM STARTER

Write a poem about someone dancing, that portrays the movements and atmosphere of their dance.

Spin

Grab her hand

Spin her around

Then she spins me

And I spin her

And then we spin together

We forget to let go

So we stumble into each other

She laughs, and then I laugh

Then we laugh together and try again...

Northern Soul

The talc leaps from the floor

As the feet twist and turn

To the beat

The polish of the wood

Burns

As the bodies move faster

And

Faster

The rhythm flows

Amongst the limbs

Swaying

Kicking

Up in the air

The beat, the beat

The constant beat

Which keeps the whole

Room, synchronised

In unison

Everyone moves in time

Time for the energy

To flow

Flow

Flow as if the world depended

On it

Moving it ...

Verbal Dance

Love vibes in the air ****

**Everything I want to hear. **

**Eyes looking far away. **

**On any given day. **

**Smiling like Mona Lisa**

**Saying I need ya. **

Isabella

Her dress was flowy and pink

elegant and soft

enchanting and pretty

beautiful and perfect


The dance she danced

was fluid

seamless

movement without motion

controlled and free

emotional and simple


She did it despite the circumstances

despite her mother

despite her pain

The Dance Of The Desert

The tambourine rattles to the rattling of her body


They move like pulsing, electric thrums


In time, in tone, the serpant, she embodies


Feet leap at the first beat of the drum


Now the tempo quickens, all the audience enraptured, ensnared as the watch, as they listen and anticipate the next hand position


Feel in the floor the new thundering pace as it races and it chases and yet somehow sti...

I Sway

In the open air of the night I sway

Filling the space around me

Laughing happily

Breathing heavily

My hair whirls in the air

Making me happy and carefree

I love moving in this way...

Love is out of sight

Where is love? I can’t seem to find it. Besides, what is love anyway?

Is it an object?

Food?

Drink?

Maybe an animal ?


Peoples it’s a "romantic feeling". It’s not true because why can’t i feel it?


I guess I will find out one day but for now..


I would rather nap....

Dancing With A Ghost

I move as gracefully as I can, trying to hold myself together. My arms gently spreading to the side as I delicately point my toes, the suns slowly setting as if trying to keep the moment alive through her warmth, holding herself between our two worlds. The stars are shyly appearing and illuminating the sky joyfully, but tears are running down my face as I slowly turn and leap, the dance is perfect...

God

Is it not fucking obvious

I said I wish

I wish

I had the will to live

Never said I did


Cough cough

Fucks sake

Is it not bloody obvious

I drawled what a SHAME

Never said it

Never promised it

Cause death is welcoming


Laugh laugh

Cause aren’t I so funny

Aren’t I so funny

When I claim I want to die


Claim

Claim

Yeah that’s really funny

Cause you see, I wasn’t claiming

I was promising...

Pirates Pub

The pub music came on

And a cheer from the bar rung

As the waiters took the hands of drunken men.


Yes they danced on table tops

Even when the music stopped

Lively songs were sang by a slurring group of ten.


Some were as indecent as can be

And other were charmingly sweet

But regardless people danced with hand to hand.


The men spun the pretty gals

And swayed hips with long lost pals

In the end t...
