Ballerina

By: Tori

Deticated to: Susannah Orr

12/04/01



  Dainty little feet

Lined up in a row

Pretty ballerinas

Standing on their toe

I'm just a tiny dancer

In the jewelry box

Made of Crystalline

And covered up in locks

My hair is wrapped up tightly

And placed up in a bun

My site is full of air

I walk and never run

Elegance is in my name

And grace is on my tongue

The crowd cheers on with all my words

And with the song I've sung

My whole world lies within ballet

I'm in the lights

Star of the play

And now I'm perfect

Finally

I'm everything

You want of me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is deticated to one of my best friends, Susannah, whom at one time aspired to be a dancer.

This is a very beautiful poem. Great job

There is nothing more beautiful thsn the ethereal illusion of the ballet dancer.
Only those who have aspired or who have achieved the priveledge of the dance know the sweat & the secret price that is paid to do what is required to maintain this image.

Well done.
