Teach What You Can’t Do

Posted on May 22, 2021 by Mary (tqhousecat)

He asked me to dance, ma
But I’ve two left feet
We swayed in a trance, ma
I couldn’t count the beat
He wouldn’t take a no, ma
I was too shy to retreat
Now I’m caught in his spell, ma
My private hell, ma
Followed and fell, ma
So who can I tell, ma
I didn’t listen, but now
I can teach to lead

Dversepoets.com and Bjorn wants us to dance a poem. 1-2-3, A waltz.

    Such dances can often end this way! I like the repetitions which really carry the dance along.

    Falling under someone’s spell can be tempting, but you have to know how to lead (and sometimes away)

    I do love the ending line. I really like the beat of your verses, specially with the ending, ma.
