Picture Perfect

Gracefully gliding, reaching you in sky, Chasing all notes on air in sublime rhyme, With shining leotard, my wish is to fly. I feel every rhythm from time to time, The sweet smiles lift every spirit so high, My magic fingers draw a paradigm. Tiptoeing on the ice, so cold and dry, Most chilled pirouette, impressive in sight, Everyone wishes me for one more try. “My picture”, I look wistfully in sigh, I stand with shaking knees, my dance is wry.

The rhyme scheme for this form of poetry is "aba bcb cdc, etc." The second line of each tercet sets the rhyme for the following tercet, and thus supplying the verse with a common thread, a way to link the stanzas. My first terza rima poem. This poem was late for the contest with the theme, "Picture Perfect" so I entered it in the other contest.
