Poetry 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.

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.
