Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Prima Ballerina

prima ballerina
    expressive arms
  interlocking curves
    the pose of two swans

  her foot softly supple
    arched so long
  pink flamingo 
    toe stance on 

  Pirouettes 'round and round
    her leading man
  leaps lithe and lovely
    as only grace can

Evelyn Judy Buehler September 29, 2022 at 5:55 PM Ballet is so enjoyable to watch, and your description of the ballerina is pleasurable reading, Gershon. :) Gershon Wolf September 29, 2022 at 6:02 PM I agree. I love the ballet. Pure Pleasure. Thanks, Evelyn.

Panagiota Romios September 29, 2022 at 1:19 PM Good one, Gershon. With a few words, you captured the beauty of a ballerina. Ballet is beautiful. Males, included. Like, Nureyev! Pangie xx Gershon Wolf September 29, 2022 at 3:33 PM like, Nureyev... like Baryshnikov too... Nureyev was my favorite. I saw him perform live in Urbana, IL in 1973, just before he defected. I could swear that he leaped across the width of the stage in one bound. Like a deer, he was. Amazing!! Thanks, Pangie. Smiles, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger September 29, 2022 at 10:56 AM This is incredibly graveful my friend. Gershon Wolf September 29, 2022 at 3:34 PM I think you meant graceful, not graveful. But thanks for the chuckle, my friend! ~ Seriously...
