Oh, I wish I were born to dance
To look elegant as I prance
Around the floor with legs flying
All the handsome men are vying
To take their place right next to me
But, alas, it is not meant to be
Some people were born with rhythm
But I know I am not one of em
So I accept my fate with a sigh
Take my seat and watch others glide by
My talent is not to beguile
With fancy steps and wistful smile
But Oh how I wish I were born to dance
To impress with my elegant prance
I am better at making these rhymes
Which is all well and good most times
But on a Saturday night it can't compete
With a girl who is light on her feet

Poetry: Dancing
Dance
It was only a seaside cafe,
My soul a tendril reaching out
Eagerly cleaving to the silhouette,
Standing on a table near
A Balinese Dancer
Exotic and alluring,
Each movement casts its spell,
Evoking myths and legends,
Such dramas she can tell.
Swaying
DOES HE LIKE TO DANCE
Quiet moments are elusive
Fear born of loneliness is obtrusive
In our fast paced world
by Scott Scherr
Pirouette on Carousel
I penetrate the mist; what's there?
A heart with dreams immune to cares.
Behold such grace of life
On high tip toes
She stretches her leg in the air
The audience is silent
As they mesmerizingly stare
With a twist of the wrist
