Contradanse Poem
So here we got a sonnet, but the form was changed around to fit the sing-songy way a caller would sing-songy at a contra danse
(also the pattern they move had some relevance to the post but i dont remember exactly). I originally wrote it for my baby while we were walking around a corn maze, but I integrated it into that massive DEATHRACE POST that I did against Infrateal.
Listen to hear me and command my Call,
Mind the motion to follow, rise and fall.
So look around you for a choice prospect,
and Form the big long line to pay respect!
Take a step to march an allemande left,
Need two feets to Contra, clever and deft.
Now balance in spirit, steady as sooth,
and Swing your neighbor like a baby ruth!
Gentle is the guide for the lady's through,
Twirl brightly yer dosey, pattern and hue.
Weave through the flow into a right-hand cross,
and Make love t’your partner as sweet as sauce!
Promenade tall on tip-toes with chins held high,
and - Rejoin that big long line for one more try!
