The Ballerina The curtain parted...there upon the stage, 'neath bright chatoyant spotlight's glaring glow she stood, a cynosure in tunneled beam; demure, yet with ineffable glamor. With lovely bow, this ingenue young girl, composed, yet like a whirling breeze, began her lissome ballet dance of twirls and swirls to mellifluous sounds of violins. A panacea of sweet calm filled up my soul as she so gracefully succumbed to call of violins and merged with them in artful dance I wished sempiternal. The beauty of her gracefulness in dance enveloped me in deep, hypnotic trance. Sandra M. Haight Unrhymed Sonnet

I've read all the poems of the ten word challenge, mostly from men, and they were all great, but your feminine touch with these words was special in it's own way. Beautifully expressed. A7
