Rhythms of Change

Rhythms of Change

I once was a dancer belle,
though no one now can tell,
before my life turned living hell

A way of curbing emotion;
the body in constant motion
cruising life's forbidden ocean

The beats carried my power steps:
just my kind of fitness preps
for calves, and curves, and firm biceps

I didn't need another sport
I never was the sporty sort
Hip Hop became my life support

Once managed to gasp a second wind,
a Mollywood affair in Hind
But at my age some felt I'd sinned

Each time I danced I felt reborn
And of those days I now do mourn,
when I had ballance: brain and brawn

But by life tracks this car's derailed
In maintaining my physique, I've failed
The chance to keep that love has sailed

I really enjoyed the format of this piece Al. It's a one I've yet to try. I especially like the lines 

I didn't need another sport
I never was the sporty sort
Hip Hop became my life support

 Thanks so much Syd

My Creative Writing lecturer would sternly tell me to stop rhyming 
But sometimes I take a risk and do the exact opposite ?

I can't help but rhyme Al. I'm envious of those who can write good free verse.
