Ballet Dancer

Submitted by saveandsound on Mon, 07/30/2012 - 7:26pm
I wrote about this photo.

I watch you in the studio

Jumping higher

Twisting faster

Bending longer

Gliding smoother

Along the floor and in the air

 

Black leotard

Pink tights

Pink Shoes

Ribbon Ties up the calves

Sweet elegance

Crowd in fancy dress ware

 

Soft piano

Humming violins

Faint flute

Bring in the orchesta

The conductors swift arms

Swing with the music

 

She spins alone

Soft and elegant

Every bend

Every move

With no sound

Silence settles

 

The crowd stands

Applauds for the music

The dancer

Flowers are being thrown

But she walks off

As if the crowd stayed silent

I dance ballet and this is a very very good poem about that ballerina. who is the ballerina in the picture?

''Humans... the only animals that cut down tree's, make paper out of them, and then write, ''Save the tree's'' on it. Human logic.''

Thanks!
