Dancing Zorba Poem by Margaret Alice

Dancing Zorba

Rating: 5.0


Where is our CD of Zorba The Greek?
I want to dance it again, going round in a circle
one leg in front of the other, one step
then moving the other again
faster and faster - my twin sister and I
used to dance Zorba together
one step, a jump, then another
I shall always remember the good times
dancing together, going faster and faster
laughing and dancing till we were
out of breath - we shall dance again
when we've solved the problem
of the narrator-mother who told us
our lives when we were young
and told it all wrong
now I see it from a new viewpoint
with my father all strong
I must learn to deal with mother and sister’s
rejection of him – then we’ll be singing
and dancing together again!
