L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Ballerina

She twirls, swirls, dips and sways
In exotic costumes of satin and tulle
She leaps into the air her arms fluttering
Her pirouettes leave audiences stuttering
Into the wings she glides with grace
Then reappears to thunderous applause
An experience filled with fun and delight
Only at the ballet can we see such a sight.

L Milton Hankins October 6, 2021 at 1:04 PM I love the ballet, but unfortunately I live in a part of the country where the only type of dancing that's acceptable is the line dance and the clog! (chuckling)

Lindsay Laurie October 3, 2021 at 2:59 PM Hello Milton ... fine lines to demonstrate an art where one must be really fit and precise - thank you Milton - Lindsay L Milton Hankins October 3, 2021 at 7:24 PM Again, so true, and many people do not realize that ballerinas have to train to achieve the physical stamina. I think they have to start their training at a very early age, too. Thanks for the read.
