~ Snowdrop Dancer ~

This was an enchanting read. I loved the presentation of the poem to make it look almost like a ballerinas figure. Your description of a snow drop in comparing it to a beautiful ballerina is top notch from its slender stems to its white skirt, you illustrate a beautiful image of a snow drop.

This is so divine in presentation and charming poetry with lovely imagery and you expressed this fav so well. Love it!

[Carola]

thanks for your kind comments patricia.
as i mentioned to chris shaw below, I'm a visual person so I like to dress up my words with images & backgrounds.
i know a lot of poets think that poetic compositions ought to stand on their own, on the other hand nowadays visual artists often include words within their paintings or installations. i think whatever the writers or artists want is ok with me.

Actually I am one that doesn’t like all those off set types and puzzle looking poems but yours are different, they are art so I love them, they are dramatic and lovely and fun but still easy to read and follow, so don’t change…you have style!!!!

[Carola]

those free verse poems where the writing is unevenly spaced & all over the place, yes i'm with you, I don't like them & they're not easy to read.

[Patricia]

Exactly, I just move right past them without reading them, irritating in my opinion but there are people who publish them so someone likes them, go figure

[Carola]

yes i only glance but don't read them too.

This little poem is exquisite in both its presentation and language. We both love snowdrops. For me, they are the bringers of spring. Light after the winter dark. They are a delight. Really nice work Carola. Happy Easter.

thanks for your kind comment chris.
i love words, but i've always liked to have images with my poems 'cos I'm a visual person.

perfect ballerina shape...my second ex danced ballet, really well.
I used to love to go to rehearsals and see the process of making the dances happen.
this reminds me of her...and even at 71, she still looks youthful...and still dances.
thank you for this, Carola,

thanks for reading & commenting jacob, glad it reminded you of her dancing.
tell me, is it true or a myth that ballerinas' feet are in terrible shape, almost deformed, from standing on their toes ?

hers were not, and she used to dance in NY...
but I think for many this is true...and she danced many different dances, not solely ballet...so that probably helped her.
