And So, She Dances

She twirls, the skirt swirls and flows all around

Round and around she turns, delighted in the skirt

that seems to float on its own

 

Organza and the color of lilac

Little Ballerina's laughter bubbles over

looking at the pattern, it makes on the ground

 

She dances, and she leaps

the skirt falls down to bare feet

like a feather in the wind, soft and slow

 

The skirt swirls as she twirls

Somewhere, music is playing, that only she hears

and so, she dances

Dear JC,

A very tender, endearing poem. You can actually see the delightful, innocent girl lost in the wonderment of the music and her beautiful outfit. You paint this very well. High marks.

Best regards,

Rick

I loved this - don't we all dance to music that only we hear? Isn't that what makes the world go round? It puts me in mind of those times when I've got a song stuck in my head - it plays within my mind continually - and puts a spring in my step that I'm sure others wonder about (especially when I'm at work lol). Your descriptions of the dance here has me wishing for a flowing skirt and ballet slippers this morning :-)

Ahh...a child's abandonment to the simple things of life without a care! I wish! I wish I were there!

this is so nice... I love the feel of someone just getting lost in their own world, sometimes we need to in order to keep reality in line.

I just love this. It reminds me of when my daughters were in dance class! :)

Oh, I love this! This poem, if you will, represents me. I see myself as this ballerina who has just learned to twirl and dance. "Music is playing, that only she hears and so, she dances" I am dancing . This is my favorite poem !! I am adding this one to my favorite. Thank you!

I am so moved by the tranquil beauty that marks this evocative poem of yours. The imagery is so indelible, it's etched in the memory from start to finish of reading through the work. The serene delicacy of the words are so beautifully captured in tone and style.
