Insightful Praise of a Pretty Little Liar

Chiaroscuro ballerina,
Rond de jambe in chaînés
Jeté, jeté
Grand jeté

Mariana Anesidora,
Viperine eyes speaking in
Adamantine lies
Forbidden apple gates

Amina Afrikana,
Runes enjambed in chains
Adamantly denying
Grand sobriquets

Bloomeria sabbara,
Your six-petaled cries sing
"Beaujolais, beaujolais!"
Forbidden pomegranates
