The Dance I Do Not Like (A Poem)

"The Dance I Do Not Like"

I hate you, I hate you

you’re supposed to be easy

but this dancing and talking

makes me unbearably queasy.

****

But alas, a discovery

pure progress, so sweet

as if my legs never realized

that beneath them were feet!

****

I’m moving so smoothly to

Ella, Louis, and Frank

Like walking with dividends

cashed out from the bank.

****

You’re my trusty companion

I depend on you greatly

dressed down at a party

or a gala, so stately.

****

From wedding receptions

to my first competition

I realize your purpose

the reason, the mission.

****

I grapevine and twinkle

with no hesitation

Now I’m talking and dancing

with no queasy sensation.

****

I love you, dear Foxtrot

You have layers and seasons

Now I’m anxious and challenged

but for all the right reasons.

CONCLUSION:

Dances are like relationships. With some, it's love at first sight. With others, it's a romantic-comedy. You hate them, learn more about each other, and then realize you're a perfect fit. For us, that's the Foxtrot. For you, it could be any dance on your program that doesn't click. That's normal. Just remember: You can hate it now, but you may love it later.

Happy Dancing!
