POETRY REPORT

1. THE DANCE
     The song The Dance was written by Country Music star Garth Brooks in 1989.  To Garth The
Dance has many meanings, such as a love gone bad or life.  He really thinks that it is about the loss of the
people who gave up their life as an ultimate sacrifice.  Some of these people are John F. Kennedy and
Martin Luther King, Jr.
     I chose this song because it is one of my favorites and the meaning that it gives to the listener.
The meaning is that life is better left to live and chance than to miss everything by not do anything or even
living.
     Throughout the song many of the poetic terms are used. The rhyme scheme that is used is that the
first verse has no rhyme in it.  The chorus, second verse and the tag have the first two lines and the second
two lines rhyme with each other.  The tone that is displayed is sad but if the person didn’t take a chance he
wouldn’t of had anything at all.  ‘The dance we shared ‘neath the stars above’ shows the imagery of the
song.  A metaphor is used in ‘I could have missed the pain but I’d of had to miss the dance.  The dance is
referring to life and the pain is where the person never lived or did anything at all.  The line that is repeated,
or the refrain, is‘I could have missed the pain but I’d of had to miss the dance.’  There are four stanzas
present in the song.  The mood that is given to the reader is sympathetic and/or empathetic.  Similes and
personification are not used.

City’ to the Spanish Conquistadors that they never found.  In the poem the knight is looking for this special
thing, and he travels all his life to find it.  The knight is very sad and never finds what he is looking for.
