Ballerina on a Pinhead

Dancing feat like no other

By Gabriel B. ShamesPublished 4 months ago β€’ 1 min read

The form of a slender dancer ~

Suspended atop a red globe…

πŸ“ 🌠 🩰 πŸ’ƒ πŸŒƒ πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ πŸͺ© πŸ¦ΉπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ 🌎 πŸ“

The form of her flexible, nimble body ~

As she pirouettes on toe-point.

✨ 🌌 πŸ‘— πŸ§šπŸ½β€β™€οΈ πŸ’‹

The spin of destiny ~

The whoosh of arms and a leg flying around in a tight arc.

πŸ’ž πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Instead of the globe spinning…

Like our big home…

She spins on its axis!

🌎 πŸ’ž πŸ«₯πŸ§žβ€β™‚οΈ

What a time and place to be alive!

To spin on a pin…

To trot on a dot!

πŸ”΄πŸ”΅ ⚫️βšͺ️

When the world isn’t rotating…

But the sole occupant is.
