Foxtrot

Easy to do, Hard to do easily

Known as the dance for beginners,

The foxtrot is danced by many,

Village hall club goers, or ballroom trophy winners,

The joyful hobbyists and the high-status gentry.

Want to dance? Looking for a sign?

All are equal when dancing in 4/4 time.

A/N: Well, the Strictly Come Dancing season is over this year! The show that inspired this short little poetry series. I hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them! I think i'll include some more dancing in my life this 2025!

Once again, I must apologise for my absence. It appears that I have accidentally started an online writing club livestream in the last month. I am not quite sure how, but all of the pieces have fallen into place and I now lead a writing club on Twitch every Thursday at 6/7pm (UK)! I will write a separate article on it, and provide a link to anyone who would like to join! It's great fun!
