Dancers In Blue
Delicate angels in blue chiffon
With elongated necks, wishful as a swan
Laced up toes of silky pearl
Gathering together for a whirl
All eyes on the ballerinas in motion
Purely, vividly perfumed in a potion
With long bound brunette hair
Poised with ivory skin so fair
Spiral threads in a timberland of aquamarine
In a fluent, feminine picturesque scene
Inspired by Brain’s contest (picture poems)
Edgar Degas (1834-1917)
