The life of a.... writing prompt entry

 

The life of a dance teacher has been such a pleasure.

The fun and the laughter no scale can measure.
 
Friends sometimes say. 'When will you retire?'

I ask them 'Why! When there’s still desire.

How can you give up part of yourself?
I'm not quite ready to put my shoes on the shelf.

There may be a time when my body will say.
'Time to give up.' But until that day.

I'll go down to the hall where my dancers meet.
With smiles on their faces and flight in their feet.



Writing Prompt
Write a poem adout "the life of a..." something, anything, person, place, or thing. Be creative! Any style of poem.

Author Notes
I wrote this poem about twenty years ago when I had no intention of giving up on my passion, but as the words state there is a time when one needs to slow down but not completely. The photo is at the conclusion of one of my hundreds of concerts I organized over the sixty plus years of teaching.
