Dance On

Three judges,
Two hearts,
One dance.

Perfect movements,
Executed confidently,
Precise.

Each foot fall exact,
In rhythm,
With two simultaneous hearts.

Horse and rider combined,
Moving freely as one,
Together.

Elegance as sport,
A count down like no other,
We can stop the clock.

Three judges,
Two hearts,
One dance,

Salute.

  1. Oh I love it!Its just like a dance. And I love dancing! :-) But its a different kind of dance, a dance on your horse. Beautiful and calming. :-)

  2. Love it!! :)

  3. Champion poem! Reminds me of dressage and how i feel at one with my friend Izzy as we do it. You don’t really think you just… dance! Your first phrase reminds me of one that my friend goes by “3 barrels, 2 hearts, 1 dream.” For barrel racing of cource but nevertheless inpirational.

  5. That’s dressage right? It’s really good. Really. I luv this. You’re so talented. Wish I could write peoms, lol.

  6. Beautiful. I can’t believe you managed to create a short poem filled with so much….so much…I don’t even know a word for what you did. It was amazing. And a calm moment in my hectic day. :-)

  7. Wow! I love the “two hearts, one dance’ part! I hope you write more poems! :]

  8. Thank you. =] it’s dressage.

  9. Beautiful and elegant poem, just like dressage. You wrote in a very creative way to describe it. Excellent job, Michelle!

  10. This reminds a lot of this book I read called Misty’s Twilight, it’s by Marguerite Henry…She’s an awesome author and I’ve read all of her books :)

  11. Three judges

  14. Horse and rider combined,

    Together.

    I can’t get it out of my head! *bangs head on the wall* Yes, i know banging your head on stuff kills braincells, but i don’t have that many to start with! Ugh! Please, write s’more, so that i can get this one out of my head! Not that it’s not a brilliant poem! I really enjoyed it and loved your discription of dressage; it’s been in my head since it was published! I love this poem, but i’ve been doing so much since, it pops up everywhere.

    For example, i was writing this social studies paper when i accidently started saying this poem under my breath. My friend Kara asked what i was saying/singing. I was trying to recite the poem to her, not let the teacher catch us talking, and write the paper all at the same time! So it was inevitable that by the time i looked back at my paper, the poem was written on it three times. :-P [i]That[/i] involved a lot of erasing and tossing of papers into t he trashcan.

    Anyways, to wrap it up, brilliant poem, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise!
