Weekly Guest Poem For DWTS18 Week 3: “Years Of The Dance”

I don’t know how Lois comes up with so many great poems for Dancing With The Stars, but, here she does it again and in the perfect way for this past week…

YEARS OF THE DANCE

YEARS OF THE DANCE, recreating moments in time
Mesmerizing, marvelous, magical, moving, majestic

YEARS OF THE DANCE, chosen to recreate memories
To interpret a special story on the floor of the dance

YEARS OF THE DANCE, recreating triumph, tears, joy
A spectacular evening of dance, a magnificent display

MERYL DAVIS AND MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY – FOXTROT

A concerto on the dance floor, a delicate love story
M & M – Full of sweetness, delicious and dynamic

A whimsical dance full of whirling, twirling, swirling
Charming, full of soul – a father and son embracing

A snappy-happy, toe-tappy dance, vibrant, alive
An explosive, lightning strike victory celebration

MOVING TO THE UNITED STATES

A personal song, SURFBOARD, a Cody original
Jazzy for the present, abstract, owning the floor

VAL CHMERKOVSKIY AND DANICA MCKELLAR
CONTEMPORARY – 2010 – BIRTH OF A SON – DRACO
MOURNING A GRANDMOTHER

A dance of memorial, a dance of new life, graceful
Fluid, beautiful, delicate, enchanting, embracing a son

Sensual, full of passion, depiction of one true love

Of the beauty of life, tears of joy flowing like a river

An Elvis inspiration of joy of a new partnership
Sharp, clean, a proper, snazzy–jazzy joyful jive

CHARLIE WHITE AND SHARNA BURGESS – JIVE
2010 – 2014 – A JOURNEY TO OLYMPIC GOLD

A dancing Happy Hour on the ballroom landscape
Light as air, light on the feet, dynamite extravaganza

EMMA SLATER AND BILLY DEE WILLIAMS – WALTZ

A story of life was not able to be danced on the floor
Billy Dee danced into our hearts, we bid him adieu

YEARS OF THE DANCE, stories told through dance
Interpretations of deep personal feelings of the heart

The most brilliant night in the ballroom in 18 seasons
Dancing reaching new heights to the ballroom rafters

YEARS OF THE DANCE, we all have a story to tell
Dance to the music written to the beats of your heart!
