Theatre Thoughts: Get to the Pointe

(Image courtesy of clipart.com)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Her head in the music her heart in the story, no thoughts of today or those little worries. On pointe on balance life is here in a spin, chorus is called overture begins. Pointe shoes glide across floor feet take to the air, our heroine has entered and the hero is here. No time to search features faces set as masks, no quarter has been given audience didn’t ask!

I really like how you set the stage for Prima Ballerina, Sara. A graceful poem to match the grace of its subject. Kudos, gw
