Jenna Logan Poet Verse

Snowflake Dancers

Snowfall prancers
Ballerina dancers
Gracefully, they pirouette in the air
Frosted crystals, though never a pair
Scene enhancing
Vision entrancing
Ballet romancing

Costumes white
Tumbling flight
Snowflakes flew in for their audition
Each posed in an Arabesque position
Swift Allegros
Slower Adagios
Pointed tiptoes

Emerging sun
Recital done
With risen mercury, the sunlight pelted 
Each tiny snowflake had been melted
Ballerinas lost
Tragic Holocaust
Performance tossed

*            *             *
