Question:

I need a poem to choreograph a dance to, maybe about 10 or 15 lines. Any ideas?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is a very moving poem, and it shouldn't be too hard to choreograph some good dance moves to go with it. This is about 16 lines, but the lines are short, so it should be okay.

SUNRISE
The grey begins to fade,

As colour creeps from leaf to limb.

The light is slowly seeping up,

From beneath the earth's curved rim.

The sky blue strengthens slowly,

Glazed with hues of orange and red.

Slowly as the earth revolves,

The sun lifts up it's head.

Colours shimmer in the light

And shapes begin to unveil.

The trees and flowers separate,

With the dawn light rosy and pale.

The sun climbs higher in the sky.

It's light shimmering and warm.

All things now are clearly seen.

A new day has been born.
