Pulse

Oft misunderstood concept of rhythm,

Simply recognizing the music’s beat.

Not a convoluted algorithm,

Just feeling the cadence, moving your feet.

Take a moment to hearken the tempo,

Embrace the melodic modulation.

Foxtrot, waltz, tango, even calypso,

Cultivate increased appreciation.

Cadence similar to a poet’s rhyme,

Rising and lilting meter to measure,

An occasion to embrace the sublime,

Opportunity for immense pleasure.

Everybody can learn how to dance,

Relinquish your panic and take a chance.
