New and Improved Poem

If you recall, I posted a poem over Spring Break which was a rough draft of an assignment I had. The actual assignment was due today, and it's actually almost entirely different than the original. We've been reading poetry in both of my literature classes, so I focused a lot more on putting emphasis in the same places.

Not only was this due today, but I had another assignment due in my Educational Psychology class AND I had to teach that class today with three other people because it was my turn for the "Team Teaching Assignment." Basically, I woke up at 5 am to get everything done.

Don't procrastinate in college.

Here's the final poem:

THE MARRIAGE OF MUSIC AND DANCE

THE TRANSFORMATION.

The crowd roars and waves its limbs in impatient space:

Behind stage the wanted waits.

Back then, she was embarrassed to dance.

Uncertain in her youth until

She saw the light.

Once enchanted she let go.

And in that ecstasy

Was a body free.

When that fateful moment happened:

It was life but, as a dream

Was over much too soon;

And though the moment ended

Her heart still soared.

Life would never be the same again,

She wants the moment back, and drives

To far lands to witness reprise.

Feel the freedom exude from

The girl’s pleasantries.

And look into her wide blue eyes

Music is her home.

The crowd roars and waves its limbs in harmonious glee;

The music has set it free.
