Living up to my name and posting a poem- yay!
I actually love writing poems and I have a bunch of (IMHO) great ones I’d love to share, but they’re VERY attributable to me.
Actually, think about it this way- this poem is exclusively dedicated to all of my favorite CR peeps. 🙂
(It’s not my best work, cause I’m kind of writing it very extemporaneously, but considering that that’s how I always write poems, Idunno what else I’d be doing…)
i wish i could dance
like a ballerina, pointe shoes
leaping from the golden floorboards
instead of limping, wincing
as i walk
my friends around me leap, twirl
run up and down the stairs
shout behind, “hurry up!”
dance in production, jump up
and cheer
while i run after them
trying to keep up
as pain stabs my knees
and my ankles become sore
and my legs don’t listen
when i tell them to
move an jump and run
should be so simple, no?
instead i dance with my fingertips
as they leap across the keyboard
and letter by letter Art is born
and for that, at least
i don’t feel any pain at all
