Ballerina Poem by Yasmin Khan

Ballerina

Rating: 5.0


As she whirls and twirls it's not her flesh
It's her soul that bathes in ecstasy
It's her heart that feels the bliss
And her eyes that shine like stars
It's the rainbow that bows with her
It's the fish that trills like her
It's bluebird's frolic, a swan's sway
A murmuring, twisting brook in valleys
A water lily quivering gently
Caper the limbs, poised as bird's wings
Slide and glide, flowing with symphonies
Pirouetting tip-toes painting a mural
Scarcely feel the floor, those feather feet,
Fascinating the beholders into a world another
The body and the soul, spin and spin
And ballerina write a poem with her limbs.

Wow Jasmeen, this is wonderful. These dancing ballerina can realy get into such an all absorbing flow and you brought it into words in a fantastic poem. A joy to read the poem, a joy to see the ballerina in our mental eyes and to feel the dance.
