Jump, Leap, Swirl

A revealed orange fog ensnares,
A ringing hurts my ears-
I cringe,
"Agh!"-the feet thunder on brown,
My Mind hisses,
My heart stones.

the orange haze emanates,
The ringing hums-
I stare,
"Uh"-feet tap wood,
My mind grumbles,
My heart wonders.

The orange glow envelopes-
The ringing beckons-
I want!
:Hm."-feet shuffle on floor,
My mind surrenders,
My heart leaps.

With the orange glow I'm enraptured,
By their laughter I am captured-
Oh!- How my soles slide on maple,
My mind is ecstasy,
My heart is love.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this poem after attending a barnyard dance in Prince Edward Island over my summer break. I will always remember being terrified to go out there and dance, yet as soon as I did I had so much fun-truly was one of the best nights of my life so far. So, I hope this poem speaks to lots of people and encourages them to go do the things they're scared of doing. You never know, you just may enjoy yourself!
