blue ruffles and suspenders,
twist ‘n tout
their quick step
intermingled with applause,
side to side smiles,
astute to wrest the audience.
choreography jacks
the core of seasoned judges,
up on their feet,

joy spreads
like a serendipitous meadow -
spring arrives,
verdant with faeries and butterflies,
honeysuckle and roses,
violets, the warm sun
of
baby’s breath-teeth
to tinker bell-tiptoes.
at final spin
contest won
by
fainting notes
of whim.
