Swan Lake

Gliding gracefully over the lake
pirouetting as their show begins
hundreds exquisitely take to the stage
for this their ballet is theirs to perform

Ann, good luck in this contest. I do not know any of my poems well enough to recognize one that would qualify. As soon as I pop them down, I promptly forget most of them. Nice one for sure, both times!
