Dancer

Tiptoe quietly dancer dear,
As your life's end is fairly near.
Remember you used to be able to spin,
And now you struggle to push a grin.

Pirouette well dancer child,
Nicely crafted ever so styled.
You leapt and jumped at the sight of a sweet,
But soon your heart will fail to beat.

Plié low dancer my love,
Swiftly cautious like a dove.
When you lay with a nurse at hand,
Remember life was greatly grand.

Beautiful! Your style of narration reminds me a little of Mumford & Sons' songs( apologize in advance if you don't like them). You could be a great songwriter! If I may suggest something, you should check out an artist by the name of Laura Marling, her lyrics are spellbinding and may help you polish your craft...you may not understand all of her lyrics( I don't, we're simply too young :P) but it should help you a lot. Thanks for sharing this, was a lovely read! :)

Thanks for reviewing. I thought about songwriting but have never tried it. I'll give it a go! I love Mumford & Sons and I have never been compared to someone as good as them. I'll also go and look at Laura Marling. Thanks a lot again!! :)

Hahah! You are very nice at this, actually. You do this classic rhyming scheme quite a bit of justice.

Time catches up with all of us. I love the way the writer addresses the dancer with that secret inner knowledge of all that will one day be. Nicely written.

Beautiful visions create by the poem. I believe dancing is a powerful art that would overtake our life and thoughts. A perfect ending to a excellent poem.

Thanks for the review. I actually used to do dancing a lot when I was younger and it does take over your thoughts a lot. When your dancing, your not thinking if anything else but that dance. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
