Notes About The Poem

my aunt, Ann Etgen-Atkinson, practicing for her performance in NYC, circa 1950

DANCER'S LEAP

DANCER'S LEAP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ on tiptoes light, a dancer spins, in every leap, a new world begins, grace and poise in harmonious blend, telling tales without words, messages send.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. The dance is the thing, that shoves words into the wings...

Indeed, Sara, dance tells stories without using words. What a treasured memory you have of your aunt - so lovely and so delicate. As one who danced growing up, your words brought back memories of many happy hours. Blessings!
