Ballerina Statues

Written for Matgorzata Chodakowka’s Sculptures

Of the three
Bronze statues
Elfin like ballerinas 
Rise

Elegantly poised
Atop tip toes
Ribbon tied pointe slippers
Adorn dainty feet

Bronzed skin
Gently stroked 
By the sun
Glistens

While perfectly placed
Fountains
Spill sparkling water
From minute midriffs

Exquisite arches
Therein fashion
Gossamer
Ruffled tutus

Gowns of water
Cascading
Full length
Caress the ground

An ethereal mist
Created such
Visible hence
A tangle of sculpted legs

Gracefully mesmerising
Pleats of water enthrall
Illusioning a fairy tale
Beguiling all
