Won't You Dance With Me?

PreviousNext

Hello

Sorry I couldn't help but notice

The way you're just standing there

For all the world like you don't have a care

I don't know your name, you don't know mine

But I'm having a really hard time

Could you spare a minute?

I'd appreciate it.

My tired heart aches to dance

My mind and soul on the beat

I need someone who can hold me close

And keep up with my feet

As we spin around

To that song that only we can hear

So please

Won't you dance with me?

Hello

Sorry, but I can't help myself

You danced with me in an airport long ago

For all the world like you really meant it

I still don't know your name, you still don't know mine

But that's okay.

I know that it's raining outside

But you should know I'm having a hard time

Could you spare a minute?

I'd appreciate it.

My mind drifts to foxtrot sand waltzes

My hearts in time with the beat

I need someone who can hold me close

And sweep me off my feet

As we spin around

To that song that only we can hear

So please

Won't you dance with me?

Hello

Sorry but I need to know if you remember me?

It seems like we've danced a million times

For all the world like you loved me

I know your name, it's always in my mind

So what do you say?

I'll buy a white dress and do my hair

And we can let go of all of our cares together

Could you spare my heart?

I'd appreciate it.

My heart is yours and it aches to dance

My mind and soul on the beat

So hold me close and don't let go

Until we sway on our feet

As we spin around

To that song so that the world can see

Baby

What you mean to me

Won't you dance with me?

Hello my friend!!! I loved this poem! No... I LOVED this poem! It's so romantic and sooo sweet! I absolutely love romance! Haha! I really enjoyed this outstanding piece of poetry! I don't know what pessimistic thing I could say! It was perfection! Grammatically, it was perfect and the rhythm and rhyme was immaculate as well! Keep up the good work! I look forward to reading more of your writing in the future! :)

Welcome to YWS! I read this and like most poems, it could be sung. Well since this a review, let's continue with the review!

1. Punctuation- personally I don't think you need end marks in a poem but others think differently. It's your choice there so no deduction on your end grade

2. Capitalization- this is ok. Nothing is short when it should be big

3. Grammar- nothing is grammatically incorrect to me. Someone else may find something but I saw nothing.

First off, welcome to YWS! After reading your poem, I thought this would make a great song. Many of the verses repeat themselves and their is a clear progression of the narrator's thoughts and feelings. I loved the tone of the poem and how optimistic it was. My only nitpicky comment is that the "you" in line five should read "your." I'm not sure if their was an attempt at a rhyme scheme in the beginning. My general feelings about that is if you are going to have one it should be consistent throughout and not forced. Some of the best poems have no rhyme scheme at all, and yet, their are many jewels of poems with beautiful writing (e.e. cummings!). Overall, this was great. Keep up the good work, and write on!

Oh yeah. The you was a typo:) no worries
