This poem was a result of one of Julie Stevens' workshops - we were presented with a poem called - Up by Shauna Darling Robertson the opening line mentions dancing and I then interpreted the essence as being about what makes you and your spirit rise up. My effort focusses around dancing to a tune of simple wishes.
I don’t dance, I can’t dance
I suppose I could with a sense of awkwardness
But why be awkward for the sense of it
My dance would be imaginary to a tune
Of my family living with a real sense of freedom
Very simple things
Grandchildren smiling, laughing innocent
Learning to enjoy the freedom of childhood
All the way through their dance of life
