A studio full of passion and grace,
A place to learn, a place to race,
A place to practice and refine,
The art of dance- an art divine
*
Finally, on stage, those skills are showed,
a sight like no other- one to behold,
A steady melody fills the air,
heartbeats in a deep love affair
*
With movements so intricate and light,
her fervent passion for dance takes flight
soaring in tune, so graceful and free,
the beauty of ballet; so deep and serene
*
Toes pointed and arms extended,
the ballerina glides with elegance unended
The emotions flow like a river's spine,
people watch in awe, in silence; they pine
*
With music so soft, it soothes the soul,
the artistry of a dancer's goal
capturing hearts, and stealing breaths,
with the poise and power of her pirouettes
*
She twirls on point, so fluid and sweet
memorized by the finesse of her sure feet,
desire builds in her silky jetés,
obsession grows in her satin chassés
*
The love of ballet is a wonderful thing,
no voice heard, but oh, does it sing
It's no wonder she's able to entrance
with the curves and lines made by her dance
*
Souls touched- the audience weeps,
the serenade over -her notes hit deep
She takes a bow as viewers reminisce
the caress of her piece like a lover's smooth kiss

Oh damn, Brin. Colour me a bad bad Vocal friend and supporter for completely missing a lot of your recent stuff. Correcting that right now. This was spectacular. Seriously great entry to the challenge. Loved the elegance that exuded from every single line of this magical piece of poetry. Fan-bloody-tastic!
This reminds me of a scene in a TV show I saw once - I couldn't stop watching her dance. It was as beautiful as this piece. Well done!
Smooth like butter! This was so beautiful and graceful! Loved your poem!
I have a special love for these dancers who suffer so for their craft. This is lovely. Beautifully captured.
The elegance of poetry in motion, expressed with such grace, dignity & passion. Something to caress the mind, holding it long within its embrace.
