Wow, I there's not too much room on these pages.  Here's my next poem which is kinda long.  It's called a Corona Di Sonetti, which means "crown of sonnets."  It's seven sonnets connected together with the last line of the poem also being the first and I did it for an English project.
The Essence of Dance

-To dance is to live, the movement divine
Exciting and fun, it�s never a bore
The wonder of music, stepping in time
I dream that I can dance for evermore
There are many types that a person can choose
From ballet to jazz, traversing the earth,
Which ever you pick, you can never loose
Anyone can dance from their day of birth
To dance, your body must love to whirl
-Most types of dance have steps that include twirls.
Ballet for example is one of these
Beauty is seeing many bodies swirl.
However the steps, are not done with ease
Agility is very essential
To move on the stage with other persons
A ballet dancer is one who�s special
For the shoes they wear are rather irksome
To have pain is a dancer�s decision
-But also with grace, dance needs precision
Being exact with movements of sureness
Careful to avoid any collisions
Jazz; a dance where you have to have pureness
Your own style is combined with the set steps
It is fast paced having no time to rest
And your moves must mean something, have some depth.
You must be good, but don�t have to be best.
Always will someone be better than you.
-To dance, with yourself, your have to be true
A solo is one of the hardest things
To make up your own steps not many do
Imagine yourself, equipped with two wings
It�s easier then, to complete the task
The choreography flows more freely
To dance alone, one needs not wear a mask
On stage by oneself, the choice is To Be
Emotions run wild, so simple to read
-Far-reaching thinking is never a need
For most of the time it�s others you�ll mind
Hurrying to do what they say with speed
But fortunately most dancers are kind
Learn to work together, and friends you�ll make
Cooperation; the word of the day
The friendships you form will never be fake
Allies you�ll be in an odd sort of way
You�ll stick together through thick and through thin
-No matter what happens, you always will win
Although with dance, it�s pretty hard too loose
Tap is a style from which you should begin
It�s one of my favorites from those to choose
The metal pieces that fit one the shoe
Are but one of the items that stand out
Problems can arise with loosing a screw
But most of the time, I would love to shout
Out from the rooftops, �Tap is wonderful!�
-Of ALL the types, Tap is the most joyful
Though it�s hard to pick from such a long list
Since all of the forms, are most beautiful
And some, even, are combined with a twist
Dance is an art form that you have to love
It should be part of your very essence
To use your body to float like a dove
For no other fine art is like the dance
Dance is a pastime, a favorite of mine,
To dance is to live, the movement divine
