The Athletes of God
By: Laura Simon
1st Period
May 22, 2014
Mr. Love
Down my face, tears fall
like notes in a sad, sad song
I move to the music that is my life
and it makes everything right that is wrong
I jump and spin
like the craziness within
I leap and I fall
like my attempts of getting over a blocking
wall
sometimes I turn and lose my spot
I forget where I am suppose to be going
dizziness sets in and as I move
I forget to be ever flowing
but sometimes there is beauty in being ungraceful
because to the art I am being faithful
there is a passion in the oddness, the uniqueness
I am an abstract art
dancing the feelings of this world as my life falls apart
but in this dance I find the answer
I find the pieces I need to keep my life together
-Kassandre Renee
In This Dance…
I liked this poem because is compared life with
dance. The writer talks about being lost and forgetting
where to go. The mood of the poem is some what sad,
because the writer explains how she loses herself and
falls. However, the mood changes near the end. The
mood at the end is happy. They talk about
Dance when no ones looking,
Dance harder when they are.
Dance to heal a wound,
Dance to heal a scar
Dance under the rain
Dance under the sun
And when you think you can’t dance,
Just get outside and run.
Dance to the sound of the leaves,
Dance to the song in your heart
Dance even though you know...
That your world is falling apart.
Live free, Dance hard
-Meagan Slack
I enjoyed this poem because it expresses
my love for dance . It describes dance as an
escape from the world. It talks about how
dance can heal a wound and let you take a
break from reality and I can relate to this. This
poem contains a ABCB rhyme scheme.
Dancing is an art that
makes one forget all
worries;
Dancing to a tune relieves
one a while from tensions;
Dancing according to
music makes one really
free!
Dancing and singing make
one enjoy pleasure fine.
Dancing, singing and
playing music makes one
divine!
Shaking of body, hands and
legs beautifully is dance;
Sake dance, break dance,
clap dance are all real fun!
Dancing makes one healthy
and beautiful life long!
Dancing is a balancing
art as the Stars do in
the Universe!
Dancing for balance is
beauty that attracts all
to dance
And make the company
joyous to forget time
and worries.
So, man visualized God
as Divine Lord of Dance
to dance!
Dancing, singing and
playing music is a
wonderful art.
Poetry has prompted
man to visualize and
realize in life!
A DANCE FOR RELIEF!
-Ramesh T A
I really like this poem because the writer
obviously has a huge passion for dancing. They
talk about how dance can relieve you from
tension and cause you to forget your worries.
Dance also frees you. The mood of this poem is
happy because you can feel the passion that
this writer has for dance. A simile is used in it.
It says, “Dancing is a balancing art as the Stars
do in the Universe!” It is comparing dance to
the starts in the universe and how they move.
Burning desire
Just dance
A need so intense
Words cannot describe
Just dance
Clenched muscles tighten
As I reach a new high
Just dance
Craving more
Wanting something far more than
this
Just dance
Burning desire
Wanting something more
Craving this new sensation
Just dance
The music sweeps away all
thought
The pounding rhythm controls my
body
Just dance
Foreign tongues call out to me
Distant and strange even as they
are familiar
Just dance
Nothing left to do
But given into these sensations
Just dance
No time left for thought
All that's left for me to do is
Just dance
Just Dance
-DiAnne Douglass
I chose this poem because it is about the
burning desire to dance. Like this poem, I
always have the urge to dance, no matter
where I am, whether I’m happy or sad. The
poem is a free verse and doesn’t have
rhyming in it.
When I Dance
I dance for me,
Silent vibrations from
within
Rhythm of the unseen,
I dance for me.
My steps follow their direction,
My heart-beat echoes their sound.
Some say I dance weird: they call me possessed.
If I dance raw, if I dance pure,
If I dance whirlwind, if I dance the spirits within,
No matter what they say,
I know I dance me.
I dance for me. -akachukwu chukwuemeka
I liked this poem because I
think it sends and important
message. The whole poem basically
talks about how no one can stop you
from doing what you love. No
matter what they say. the poem is a
free verse.
You may think I’m crazy
I think you’re insane
Lets get together and
Dance in the rain
You spin me around
Then I’ll spin you
Twirling away the pain
Just us two
Let’s dance in the rain
Let’s forget our troubles
And just dance
Aren’t we a pair
Dancing like we are
Laughing, joking and
Going far
We’ll trade hearts
And make promises
While we dance
Among the roses
Let’s dance in the rain
Let’s forget our troubles
And just dance
I’m crazy and I
Made you insane
Now that we’re here together
Dancing in the rain
One last twist
One last twirl
The dance ends but
I’ll forever be your girl
Dancing In The Rain
-Mae Beezwax
In this poem, it talks about dance taking
away the pain. Just like the other poems from
before, I says dance can make you forget your
troubles. The writer is also in love in this
poem. This poem uses an ABCB rhyme
scheme. It also uses metaphors. For example,
it says, “We’ll trade hearts”. You cannot
literally trade hearts. It is just saying that they
will share their love with each other.
We have no choice as to how is begins
This dance of life, with its turns and spins.
Responding to rhythm of flute or drum
Next we are tapping, learning to strum.
Soon children have learnt to jig and twirl,
Quickly caught up in life’s mad whirl.
Studying and home-life becomes a bore;
Then they go waltzing out of the door.
Choosing a partner is next on the list;
Discos and parties, where everyone is kissed.
It is only a quick-step to married life,
Changing tempo with children and wife.
A tango in Paris; romance in the rain;
Laughter and sadness add to the refrain.
From rock’n roll to pushing a buggy
She is a mother, with children and hubby.
To some, life’s a ball; other don’t make it
No matter how they twist or shake it.
When the band stops our last dance is over;
There’s no more rumba or bossa nova
-Heather Smith
The Dance Of Life
This whole poem is a symbol. It is using
dance as a symbol of life. The mood of the
poem is a mix between happy and sad
because it talks about children growing up
and leaving the nest. The poem contains a
rhyme theme. The whole thing is made up
of couplets.
across the wall dances her shadow...never letting her
dreams go
watching closely her silhouette...refusing to forget
though her spirits slowly falling...
because they'll never understand her hearts true
calling
they tell her what to do...and she tries to...to move on
but her desires are never really gone
why do they refuse
to let her pursue
her dreams
every night, she cries
cause they’ve torn and ripped
at her happiness
and far away she starts to slip
she just wants to fade
to a place
a place where permission is not needed to let her body
go
where not just her silhouette is a dancer
but she is as well
somewhere she can be
free
free to move
to move as she may please
she wants a chance,
she wants a shot at freedom
freedom to dance,
freedom for more than just her heart, her soul,
her silhouette,
to move
-Kassandre Renee
A Dancer’s Silhouette
This poem caught my eye because I think that
many people could relate to this in life. The
writer is struggling to be free. The poem is
depressing because people are tearing and
ripping at the writer’s dreams. It also contains
end rhymes. The poem is also made up of
couplets.
We danced amongst the stars that night
when joy had fallen far from sight
We danced under the sun so bright
And when all seemed lost, we held on tight
We danced to the music of hummingbirds
And we danced in the silence when there were
no words.
We danced in the shadows of fear and doubt
And we danced when we questioned what life’s
about.
We danced amongst the evergreens
That posed for painters winter scenes.
We danced in the winters bitter chill
And when we danced our world stood still.
For that’s what love was meant to be
To find the dance when we cannot see.
To write a new song when the music stops
With lyrics that caress every tear that drops.
For when the rhythm changes and tempo slowed
We’re called to dance with the seeds we sowed.
For life is hard, there is no doubt
But Dancing through it, is what life’s about.
-Bernard Colasurdo
We Danced Through Life
I chose this poem because it talks about dance
bringing joy to the writer’s life. If also talks
about them dancing so that they could get
through life. In the poem, it says, “We danced
amongst the stars at night” and that is a
metaphor because you cannot technically
dance amongst stars.
What is this dance we do?
First you spin me, twirling with delight
Captivated by your attentive gaze
Then you turn your back as I move toward you
So many times we’ve been on this floor
One step forward, two steps back
Movements that confuse a bewildered heart
Often I feel I’m dancing alone
Dancing in the dark
Waiting for a spark
Our bodies once swayed rhythmically
Now we seem to be out of sync
Is our music about to end?
Have you no emotions to share?
Foolish girl, keeps dancing to reach you
Each time I draw near, you back away
And still seems you want me to stay
For an eternity drawn to a love unrequited
Dancing in the dark
Waiting for a spark
My dancing shoes I place on a shelf
Along with my dreams, pieces of myself
Perplexed by your desire to continue
Pirouetting toward the unknown
You have always led, as I have followed
Hoping to restore spirits that once soared
Like gazelles across an uneven floor
Leaping, ever leaping toward nothingness
Dancing in the dark
Waiting for a spark
Leaving faded marks
On a dance floor stark
-Carolyn Devonshire
What Is This Dance?
I chose this poem because it compare
losing someone you love with dance.
The entire poem symbolizes this. The
mood of the poem is also very sad. It
uses end rhymes. For example, one
verse is, “Dancing in the dark. Waiting
for a spark”. Similes are also used in
it. The simile used is, “Like gazelles
across an uneven floor”.
I Am
I am
Wisdom, Belief, Truth
I care about freedom and love
Acceptance is important to me.
Humbleness is important to me.
Divinity is important to me.
Uniqueness is a good thing
I am, what’s considered weird, but
That’s what makes me different.

It smells like ocean mist
It looks like a pool of still water
And makes you feel like you are floating on air.

  • 2. Down my face, tears fall like notes in a sad, sad song I move to the music that is my life and it makes everything right that is wrong I jump and spin like the craziness within I leap and I fall like my attempts of getting over a blocking wall sometimes I turn and lose my spot I forget where I am suppose to be going dizziness sets in and as I move I forget to be ever flowing but sometimes there is beauty in being ungraceful because to the art I am being faithful there is a passion in the oddness, the uniqueness I am an abstract art dancing the feelings of this world as my life falls apart but in this dance I find the answer I find the pieces I need to keep my life together -Kassandre Renee In This Dance…
  • 3. I liked this poem because is compared life with dance. The writer talks about being lost and forgetting where to go. The mood of the poem is some what sad, because the writer explains how she loses herself and falls. However, the mood changes near the end. The mood at the end is happy. They talk about
  • 4. Dance when no ones looking, Dance harder when they are. Dance to heal a wound, Dance to heal a scar Dance under the rain Dance under the sun And when you think you can’t dance, Just get outside and run. Dance to the sound of the leaves, Dance to the song in your heart Dance even though you know... That your world is falling apart. Live free, Dance hard -Meagan Slack
  • 5. I enjoyed this poem because it expresses my love for dance . It describes dance as an escape from the world. It talks about how dance can heal a wound and let you take a break from reality and I can relate to this. This poem contains a ABCB rhyme scheme.
  • 6. Dancing is an art that makes one forget all worries; Dancing to a tune relieves one a while from tensions; Dancing according to music makes one really free! Dancing and singing make one enjoy pleasure fine. Dancing, singing and playing music makes one divine! Shaking of body, hands and legs beautifully is dance; Sake dance, break dance, clap dance are all real fun! Dancing makes one healthy and beautiful life long! Dancing is a balancing art as the Stars do in the Universe! Dancing for balance is beauty that attracts all to dance And make the company joyous to forget time and worries. So, man visualized God as Divine Lord of Dance to dance! Dancing, singing and playing music is a wonderful art. Poetry has prompted man to visualize and realize in life! A DANCE FOR RELIEF! -Ramesh T A

Dance also frees you. The mood of this poem is happy because you can feel the passion that this writer has for dance. A simile is used in it. It says, “Dancing is a balancing art as the Stars do in the Universe!” It is comparing dance to the starts in the universe and how they move.
  • 8. Burning desire Just dance A need so intense Words cannot describe Just dance Clenched muscles tighten As I reach a new high Just dance Craving more Wanting something far more than this Just dance Burning desire Wanting something more Craving this new sensation Just dance The music sweeps away all thought The pounding rhythm controls my body Just dance Foreign tongues call out to me Distant and strange even as they are familiar Just dance Nothing left to do But given into these sensations Just dance No time left for thought All that's left for me to do is Just dance Just Dance -DiAnne Douglass

  • 10. When I Dance I dance for me, Silent vibrations from within Rhythm of the unseen, I dance for me. My steps follow their direction, My heart-beat echoes their sound. Some say I dance weird: they call me possessed. If I dance raw, if I dance pure, If I dance whirlwind, if I dance the spirits within, No matter what they say, I know I dance me. I dance for me. -akachukwu chukwuemeka

  • 12. You may think I’m crazy I think you’re insane Lets get together and Dance in the rain You spin me around Then I’ll spin you Twirling away the pain Just us two Let’s dance in the rain Let’s forget our troubles And just dance Aren’t we a pair Dancing like we are Laughing, joking and Going far We’ll trade hearts And make promises While we dance Among the roses Let’s dance in the rain Let’s forget our troubles And just dance I’m crazy and I Made you insane Now that we’re here together Dancing in the rain One last twist One last twirl The dance ends but I’ll forever be your girl Dancing In The Rain -Mae Beezwax
  • 13. In this poem, it talks about dance taking away the pain. Just like the other poems from before, I says dance can make you forget your troubles. The writer is also in love in this poem. This poem uses an ABCB rhyme scheme. It also uses metaphors. For example, it says, “We’ll trade hearts”. You cannot literally trade hearts. It is just saying that they will share their love with each other.
  • 14. We have no choice as to how is begins This dance of life, with its turns and spins. Responding to rhythm of flute or drum Next we are tapping, learning to strum. Soon children have learnt to jig and twirl, Quickly caught up in life’s mad whirl. Studying and home-life becomes a bore; Then they go waltzing out of the door. Choosing a partner is next on the list; Discos and parties, where everyone is kissed. It is only a quick-step to married life, Changing tempo with children and wife. A tango in Paris; romance in the rain; Laughter and sadness add to the refrain. From rock’n roll to pushing a buggy She is a mother, with children and hubby. To some, life’s a ball; other don’t make it No matter how they twist or shake it. When the band stops our last dance is over; There’s no more rumba or bossa nova -Heather Smith The Dance Of Life
  • 15. This whole poem is a symbol. It is using dance as a symbol of life. The mood of the poem is a mix between happy and sad because it talks about children growing up and leaving the nest. The poem contains a rhyme theme. The whole thing is made up of couplets.
  • 16. across the wall dances her shadow...never letting her dreams go watching closely her silhouette...refusing to forget though her spirits slowly falling... because they'll never understand her hearts true calling they tell her what to do...and she tries to...to move on but her desires are never really gone why do they refuse to let her pursue her dreams every night, she cries cause they’ve torn and ripped at her happiness and far away she starts to slip she just wants to fade to a place a place where permission is not needed to let her body go where not just her silhouette is a dancer but she is as well somewhere she can be free free to move to move as she may please she wants a chance, she wants a shot at freedom freedom to dance, freedom for more than just her heart, her soul, her silhouette, to move -Kassandre Renee A Dancer’s Silhouette
  • 17. This poem caught my eye because I think that many people could relate to this in life. The writer is struggling to be free. The poem is depressing because people are tearing and ripping at the writer’s dreams. It also contains end rhymes. The poem is also made up of couplets.
  • 18. We danced amongst the stars that night when joy had fallen far from sight We danced under the sun so bright And when all seemed lost, we held on tight We danced to the music of hummingbirds And we danced in the silence when there were no words. We danced in the shadows of fear and doubt And we danced when we questioned what life’s about. We danced amongst the evergreens That posed for painters winter scenes. We danced in the winters bitter chill And when we danced our world stood still. For that’s what love was meant to be To find the dance when we cannot see. To write a new song when the music stops With lyrics that caress every tear that drops. For when the rhythm changes and tempo slowed We’re called to dance with the seeds we sowed. For life is hard, there is no doubt But Dancing through it, is what life’s about. -Bernard Colasurdo We Danced Through Life
  • 19. I chose this poem because it talks about dance bringing joy to the writer’s life. If also talks about them dancing so that they could get through life. In the poem, it says, “We danced amongst the stars at night” and that is a metaphor because you cannot technically dance amongst stars.
  • 20. What is this dance we do? First you spin me, twirling with delight Captivated by your attentive gaze Then you turn your back as I move toward you So many times we’ve been on this floor One step forward, two steps back Movements that confuse a bewildered heart Often I feel I’m dancing alone Dancing in the dark Waiting for a spark Our bodies once swayed rhythmically Now we seem to be out of sync Is our music about to end? Have you no emotions to share? Foolish girl, keeps dancing to reach you Each time I draw near, you back away And still seems you want me to stay For an eternity drawn to a love unrequited Dancing in the dark Waiting for a spark My dancing shoes I place on a shelf Along with my dreams, pieces of myself Perplexed by your desire to continue Pirouetting toward the unknown You have always led, as I have followed Hoping to restore spirits that once soared Like gazelles across an uneven floor Leaping, ever leaping toward nothingness Dancing in the dark Waiting for a spark Leaving faded marks On a dance floor stark -Carolyn Devonshire What Is This Dance?

  • 22. I Am I am Wisdom, Belief, Truth I care about freedom and love Acceptance is important to me. Humbleness is important to me. Divinity is important to me. Uniqueness is a good thing I am, what’s considered weird, but That’s what makes me different.
