(I missed Merrill’s “Revolution”, so catching up now.)
Spinning ’round
and ’round on stage,
a ballerina–young,
muscled, promising
career. She pirouettes
on toe shoes that seem
impossible for anyone
to stand on, let alone
whirl like a pink
tornado. As she slows,
each leg and foot become
easier to separate. With
perfect poise and grace,
she bows.

In our family, our little ballerina, age 6, just had her recital. She ruffled her tutu and strutted her stuff with a fervor that captured our hearts. Our own prima ballerina!! Your poem is lovely, by the way!
