Six Dancers All In White

In my room late one night, I caught six dancers all in white. In tutus, flowered caps, and tights, they twirled on tiny pointed toes. Seeing me, they froze; those living dolls..... mere porcelain again. A 2011 oldie for 'Your Best Sijo' Poetry Contest; submitted Sept. 23, 2021 Sponsor:William Kekaula

Ha! It's a beaut, Andrea! Totally love this portrayal of my aunt's dining room as a kid too scared to look into their glassy dark eyes while she'll say, "Not hungry again?" Nicely done my friend, Aloha!
