Design On Bourgeoisie.

The slightly less inhibited define

of movement from a ballet shoe's advance

on well preserved aquaintance of align

right angles to the point, of stricter dance.

 

Advising on fine posture to the foot,

for growth of one's device leaves equalness

abruptly to the parallels firmly put

the measure far superior to possess.

 

The soft but subtle lure of strengthened toes,

dispels the languid gift from having shaped

what least suspecting aggravate bestows

an emphasis designed where toes are draped.

 

With mythical awareness softly drawn,

indulged by heaven sent and lightly frail

and having been this monumental pawn

to having one perform that fairytale.

 

A ballet shoe has soflty velvet holds,

to which the firmly fitted escapade

has much to be desired and feather folds

increase the likelihood of masquerade.

 

In death the dying swan has danced her last

intrepid fear from life's long finery,

quintessence, the sublime and imagery

for ballet shoes desire the bourgeoisie.
