Jazzercise Advice & Something I Can Only Confess In A Poem

Jazzercise Advice
The only hitch
with Jazzercise
is it can be hard
to get a good spot
on the gym floor
where you won’t
be buffeted about
by the cavorting.
So, newcomers –
arrive early, best
15 minutes before
class! And at least
25 minutes early
your first session,
to allow plenty of
time to fill out the
registration in your
finest hand-writing.
Claim a good spot.
Off to the side works.
Back corner is primo!
(Any spot, IMHO,
without a backpack
staking its owner’s claim,
is more than fair game.)
Yes, the veterans may
give you the stink-eye
if you’re in “their” spot.
But they’ll get over it,
and will lead productive
lives again. Eventually.
So be swift and stalwart!
And wear good shoes.
Something I Can Only Confess In A Poem
I felt a little bit like crap
before I wrote the above
Jazzercise poem. I needed
a laugh, because it appears
one of my Perfect New Songs
I have such great all-knowing
hopes for quite probably has
the verse melody too similar
to one part of ”Under The Sea”
from Disney’s Little Mermaid.
So, back to the melody drawing
board for me. My chorus is still
good tho! The challenge is how
to nest it silkily beside a new
verse melody. One little voice in
me goes rah-rah that “Let’s Drink
Up The Stars” will be good, and
this is A Valuable Life Lesson.
But another little voice in me
nags that I’ll never write a
decent song again, my dream
of winning Kerrville Newfolk
will forever be out of reach
and I’ll belly flop through life
depressed and always with
my shoes on the wrong feet.
So, I am hereby telling that
nagging voice to take a hike!
(end of poems.)
This post has been inspired by Jingle’s Poetry Rally, week 18. If you like poetry – Jingle is The Great Connector.
With love from Jannie, who is no longer depressed and is about to go blog hopping for the first time in 2 days!! Whoo-hoo!!!!

That jazzercise poem made me laugh, Jannie – especially the stinkeye comment which is so true. Been there. I quit jazzercise when I went one way and they all went the other, and I fell and broke my ankle. A bizarre accident and the craziest explanation ever for explaining an injury.
Hope you are feeling better, my friend. xo

Jannie! Hello, lovely poems.
The stink eye is spot on I’m sure because that’s what I give my neighbor when he parks in *my* spot! Of course I’m talking about my parking spot…but it’s kinda the same, isn’t it?

Thank you Jingle. The next time I get a little down about something I will journal my thoughts immediately to work through them. And have faith that all will work out! Thanks for the link. I think I’ve been to about 30 poetry blogs already today, and will visit more in a little while. It’s fun!
Lynn — oh my goodness, broke your ankle at Jazzercise?! You poor thing. I can totally see that happening, I’ve seen plenty of twisted ankles there, especially on carpeted small studios. I imeagine you had a cast on that ankle? Took me a good 6 months to get used to most of the Jazzercise steps. Never got used to the old stink-eye. I mean we’re all paying customers — first come, first spot served, I say! Yep — Im feeling better, and I know the melody will come to me, and that it will be lovely. (I hope,anyway!)
Natalia — is it a specifically assigned parking spot? Or just one that’s near and dear to your heart? That can be tricky.
Vered — thanks!! Yes, I am sure a few of the songs I’m writing now are good, but Kerrville (in my opinion) is looking for a very specific kind of song — full of nature, hope and Major Life Themes. I’ve got the words, just need that sweet little melody that works. I’ll get there!!!
Hey William!! Thanks. I will bet getting over to your blog very very soon!~ In fact, I’ll be heading there in 3…2…1…. Oh but — wait! Julie’s just popped in, so see you in 5!
Julie!! Well, I tagged this ass-kicking because I kicked my temporary song self-doubt slump right in the keester!!
Ahh, thanks. I knew I had some pix of her from Kerrville one one of my old hard-drives (recovreed ones) and bingo — I ever got one with a MERMAID!! (under the sea) reminding me to have faith that my song will emerge well and true!!
And Emannuel! Hey Lord E — I just put in the little edit to say that’s our daughter, oldcomers here know her quite well, but not the newer readers so much!
NOW, I’m off to William’s!! Yep!!

Hey mm — I might have to fight you for that back corner spot.
Funny Paige!! I like sweating to all 3 eras too. Rick Astley one of my favs.
Anthony North — as I live and breathe. Why, thank you for your visit ans lovely words.
Brian — I have kicked that nagging voice resoundingly in the buttocks. And chucked it to the curb!
Suzicate — Ahhh, now I feel the connection to YOU, and that’s a good thing. And hey I’ll belly flop and wear my shoes on the wrong feet for you anyday!
Hey Richard! Do you go to Jazzercise? I actually haven’t been lately — but I did love it. When I could get a good spot.

Ha! I like the belly flop through life and shoes on the wrong feet lines. I smiled through much of these poems, but live in fear of the jazzercise floor. It is coming to my world some day, I fear and I hope to withstand the stink eye (of course I am usually so oblivious, that I probably won’t even notice it!). Thanks for coming to visit. You are amazing to visit so many sites. You go girl!

Jannie, I really admire songwriters because it MUST be a challenge to come up with a unique melody. So often a melody will embed itself in our memory from a song we heard ages ago and had forgotten. You will do it! You’re just warming up.

Daisy said,
Adorable photos of your daughter, Jannie! I loved your poems too. I agree about the back corner for jazzercise–it’s the best spot.
Also I agree about sending that nagging little voice off on a hike. Don’t listen to that at all!! Send it packing!
Hugs to you! Please keep writing those songs and keep singing! Share your talents (and yes you do have plenty to share!).

Cute poems- n who hasn’t been nailed in aerobics at some point! That happens to me on dance floors too-
I love music from the Little Mermaid- My kids ended up performing alot of it in school concerts captured on VHS.
Almost every day “…The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else’s yard…” from “Under the Sea” floats thu my brainwaves.
Good luck with replacement inspirations! You CAN do it!
Jingle is great! Wish I could keep up with her pace! She does so much, n deserves the shout out.

I can’t say I’ve ever tried jazzercise lol it sound like fun! I do yoga and I have a poem about trying yoga, the first tome I went I had an elderly lady in front of me. Mays are quite close in proximity due to numbers in the class. We were doing salute to the sun, so stretching upward and then down to the toes. This lady let rip with the loudest lady fart I’d ever heard in my life. I had to walk out to the ladies locker room and laugh my heart out. Lovely blog Jannie!!

The title for the 2 poems might be the “Stinkeye Blues” or “Lady Sings About Shoes”. Must be fun to exercise with pounds and gaggles of other fems, but most men would rather just pump iron, or pedals, or BS; although Richard Simmons does sweattotheoldies, and has made a pretty penny doing so. Kernville, TX is near where? It rings a bell. The creative act of music, song, lyric writing must be a journey that we tin ear types, and non-musicians do not fully understand or appreciate. Good luck with that. I agree with the commentor that you will, in fact, write more music, and Janniecool songs. Kelly, at half her age, weight, height, was a real pea, a button, cuter than cute. Does BB come with you to jazzercise? Oh,that’s right, his feet are stuck in that base of his.

hey, hey, hey
whaddya say??
Tony, Tony, Tony — my one and only Tony — I don’t give a rat’s right ear your poem “makes no sense.”
I LOVE it!!! Some of the best poetry exist simply to create cool imagery and connect things we probably never would have. No — YOUR poem far outshone mine in this post.
Hey fun Oinky!! Thanks. Sorry the second one was more of a bummer, but I guess we’re all human right? Even the funsters.
Ahhh wonderful Talon — thanks. Your support and encouagement lifts me up. Thank you!! I’m in new territory with the song, but am now faithful it will unfold as it will, with ease and without much agony. Oh — send me some cold.
Actually, I think I’m easing into the idea of summer, and will be ready when it does hit in full.
Thank you Sweet Shakira, your words touch me to my heart of hearts. Such encouragement, my heart swells. You are right!! God knows best, and will unfold this for me. The best IS yet to come. You are so sweet. I thank you so so so much.
Dear Lovely Davina, melodies usually come so easily to me, when I’m not chasing them. So I best not chase this one too much.
I do have some good verse lyrics I think, and that complete chorus I like so much. Ahhh, “just warming up” I LOVE that — I think I shall infuse my dreams with that thought tonight. Thank you!
Daisy, my sweet, yes I was so thrilled to find those Kerville pix on an old hard-drive. So many wonderful photos recovered. Ahhh, your encouragement and positive sweetness fills me with encouragement and hope. I think if I can just get this ONE song where I like it to enter in the contest, I’ll sail on through fine. So I’ll let is just float up. Jazzercise — whoo-hoo!! back corner — oh yessss, sister!!
gotta zip away for a while to have Kelly dictate her homework to me, and sit with her for some piano practice.
See the rest of you (and all of you!) soon!!

Good morning, all you fine friends.
Miss Lovely Snaggle — Ahh, VHS, Jim and I have some of those too. My favorite is the Narrow Gauge Convention in 1996 — Colorado. Model rail roading. Such a lovely place in Durango. Yes, LOVE The Little Mermaid music. Kelly and I used to listen to the CD incessantly, and I never tired of it. As to “Let’s Drink Up The Stars…” I think I can, I think I can. I have sat with my guitar a bit, working out the notes in the chorus, and I think I can pick away at the chorus one too! Really? that line drifts through your brain daily??? It is a good concept to remmeber, and I might do well to heed the lesson within!
Miss Lovely Jingle — yes, I think I visited everybody! I enjoyed so many new poets to check out.
Hey Money Man, I think it depends on the size of the chicken, the gross number of chickens, and the going market rate at the time of sale depending on the geographical area?
Miss Lovely Shan — your yoga story made me laugh out loud! That’s the great thing about Jazzercise, music is playing so any loud flatulance is drowned out. Now Kung Fu — I only went to a few classes because the studio was so quiet I could never let a little wind rip. Not my cup of tea!
Give me a back corner at jazzercise any day.
Miss Lovely Trish — ahh, thanks. yes, a real experience for sure. I really can’t to stylized steps either, it took me a good 6 monts to get all the basic jazzercise steps down — luckily there seem to be only so many of them, so once you get your chaussees, jazz squares, Temptation walks, etc down — you’re good to go. haunting old songs sound good to me. Like “The Autumn Leaves” and “My Funny Valentine?”
Oooo, the Celebrate Poet? Just as long as I don’t have to be the celibate poet — I’m good!!
Miss Lovely Sheila — some of the Jazz instructors are pretty chipper, yeah. I think it’s a requisite in their training manual. It’s harder than it looks I think, doing all that instructing, especially when they have to do it all in reverse facing the class. NOt my cup of tea to instruct, but I do love to fool around back in that corner! Do my own thing sometimes, variations of what the rest of the class is actually doing. Drink my beer.
Miss Lovely Gonecycling — hey! Great to see you here. I was very impressed with your site. Who knew that within the heart of a hard-core fitness enthusiast who trains every day lies the tender heart of a poet.
Hey why not — poetry is for everyone!
Hey Wonderful Dustus, I’d never give YOU the stink eye, of course.
Hey fantastic Glenn — Kerrville is about 2 hours from here, a folk and wine festival that’s been going on since 1972, with a big song contest. Oh yes, BB jazzercises in the very corner of my corner! He only needs about 3 square inches to do his thing.
Hi again, Jingle. Thanks,I hope to check it out.
Vikum!!! I like your attitude!!!!! THANKS!
Miss Lovely Tess — I CAN, I CAN, I CAN!! That has a wonderful, wonderful ring to it indeed!! I’m gonna carry that in my breast pocket today. And everyday. THANK YOU!!
Miss Lovely Patricia — yeah, I was playing the song for some friends and one pointed out the similarities to the Under The Sea song. I’m glad he did! Yeah, the Jazzercise regulars, especially those who have been there for like, 20 years do like “their” spots.
Getting there early to sit with eyes closed and meditate, or do stretches can be the longest 15 mintues of one’s life, but so worth the following hour!

Jazzercise. Yes. Something I tried once and could not do again. Good for you that you are.
I had to delete what I just wrote because it wasn’t “G” rated. Not even sure it was PG-13, so I’m just gonna leave it at that.
*ahem*
Sometimes it feels as though all the words have leaked out of our brains with nothing coming in to replace them. Totally get that. I think you acknolwege it (you have), and stop trying. It will come to you when you least expect it. Much like a love and a life with a property / apartment manager that hits you outta the blue (wink).

Ahhhh, Alice Audrey, THAT is music to my ears, thanks. I am writing this comment a couple days after this post went up, and I am thrilled to announce I HAVE come up with a melody I think can work, with a few tweaks here and there. Why did I doubt myself?? I feel kinda dumb now. But I’ll throw in a smile because it’s all behind me now!
And another smile for your friendship. 
Mia !! Yeah, that’s it — the brain seems emptied out sometimes. But it fills back up when it is ready to — when it is darn ready to. Well, since I’ve labeled this ass kicking and I have said the occasional stronger naughty word on this blog — I’m AT LEAST PG-13 here, so let ‘er fly, if you wish.
Oh and Mia, as I just mentioned above to Alice Audreey — I think teh melody has come!! EXACTLY as you say it — when I was least expecting it — it floated in.
You guys — well actually girls — but you know what I mean…
are so awesome.
Love you both! And so many other commenters here.

Hilary, yes I was so pleased to find those photos on my recovered hard-drive. I really love Jazzercise when I have lots of spaace to move in!
And the friendships developed are the best! One big sisterhood. And since you’ve already read my post after this one — you know I FOUND MY MELODY!! I will never ever doubt myself again. 
I hope you are doing well too, dear Hils.
