Eternally In Awe

In awe, I watch them pirouette across the stage en pointe I capture them for eternity, in graceful flowing movements Swallowing my envy, admitting, I wish I could dance For the contest: May I Have This Sijo Dance Sponsored by: Rick Parise Placement: Honorable Mention

Paula, my mother forced me to take ballet lessons because she wanted her little acrobat to become more ladylike. It just didn't work. I enjoy watching ballet as much as you do, but I'm certainly no graceful swan, not even a "Black Swan." Just a tomboy. Really enjoyed reading your entry and wish you success in Rick's contest! Love, Carolyn
