DANCING SHOES

My shoes are like no other,
flying and diving here and there across the stage,
spinning and grinning with their shiny black look,
as I smile and leap and cascade from here to there,
the truth is that I really don't have a pair of dancing shoes,
but anytime I come close to you my ordainary everyday shoes become these,
so for you I jump and hop and spin,
giving my all just for you,
so I give you something to smile about,
to laugh and grin,
you bring out the best in me,
you are my true dancing shoes,
because you are a "shiny immortal" person,
with love and faith,
and truth and grace,
love so strong that nothing seems to go wrong,
whenever we're together anything is possible,
and you
you are
my dancing shoes.

Person	I like this poem. Personally, I like it because I enjoy dancing so much!! But it isn't really a ballad.	USA	5/11/2009 8:41:48 PM
Anonymous	This is a great poem. I don't think it qualifies as a ballad in my class so I'm using it as a free verse. But this is really deep and heart-touching.	USA	4/28/2009 3:40:30 PM
Sidney Smith	I'm not exactly sure if this is a ballad... it is narrative poetry with a strong rhythm... but ballads typically consist of four line stanzas and have rhyme scheme of abab or abcb (see Annabelle Lee by Edgar Allen Poe for an example). But despite that fact, it is still a very well written poem!	USA	3/30/2009 9:41:17 PM

Deanna Dilley	This is beautiful, Amanda! From 1995 to 2004 I figure skated with special olympics. Picturing your "dancing shoes" makes me feel like I'm once again on the ice. Keep writing and dancing. Welcome to voices!	USA	2/28/2008 6:00:53 PM
