This is a poem that I wrote about five years ago. It was the first high school dance I went to. Now I only go to the dances that my church has. They're a lot more fun.
Walking through double doors.
People moving with the tune.
Bodies close together, bumping.
I get the fever super soon.
Jumping into the crowd.
I whoop and lift my arms to the air.
Moving jerkily at first.
Finally getting the moves before people stare.
Dancing through the night.
Dancing, dancing, dancing...
Oh, what a sight!
A group of girls surround me.
Pulling me through the crowd.
Teaching me how to dance perfectly.
Making people around us get wowed.
My new friends exchange names with me.
They tell me theirs while I tell them mine.
Singing loudly to a couple songs.
As we dance, we move into a single line.
Dancing through the night.
Dancing, dancing, dancing...
Oh, what a sight!
The line with front to back, back to front.
We move our hips in one single motion.
Me doing this for the first time,
Feeling like we are surrounded by an ocean.
We break apart, then dance in a full circle.
Sweat gleaming on my face.
We stop for the night, the dance ends..
We leave all together in a single pace..
Dancing through the night.
Dancing, dancing, dancing..
Dancing, dancing, dancing...
