Attitude Poem by M.J. Lemon

Attitude

Rating: 5.0


Pirouette fearlessly
and stand
before the mirror

what it will
do for me
is reflect your grace
and for you

it will embrace
your every move

caress

to deny your body
deprives the art
and therein
is the crime

he who cannot
the one unable
to near walk so slow

must not sway
the other who
lives for
the adagio

M.J., as your title suggests, it's all about attitude. For most of my life, I used to believe that I was a klutz as a dancer. And then one day, I discovered that when I'm in the arms of someone who really knows how to dance, then I'm no longer a klutz. She's leading me into dance moves that I didn't even know I had. Not only is she dancing great, but so am I! Thanks for this beauty of a poem that's a great tribute to love, dance, devotion. And most of all...ATTITUDE.

Thank you so very much, Richard. When I wrote this, I did indeed have attitude in mind...mine. And then I remembered the meaning for the ballet dancer....the attitude. It is and remains a position for us both. Thank you again, Richard.

The movement in your poem is so eloquently alive. One whose whole being dances to a different tempo to the observer. Beautiful write! ! !

Thank you so very much, Simone. Yes, this really is about two people who move in entirely different ways.
