Torchiere Stage Lighting

Torchière Stage Lighting

red-orange-yellow flowers framed
on sunny walls -
always-a-ballerina stretched out
toes pointed to make sure
that she’s still got it

We all want to know "we have still got it". A brave write.

An interesting visual your poem paints here, Kim. Just a question: is "always -a-ballerina" refering to a plant or a person?

A person! A friend posted a picture and explained how a ballerina, even when not dancing anymore, still finds herself pointing her toes and her friend says she does the same thing. Her photo was warm with light. This my poem. <3
