She starts gently tapping on the floor and then romps,
With one hand spread and other near to chest, she stomps;
Stage light follows her as she glissades below,
As a shooting star which leaves behind the glow;
Her skirt appears to be a turning disc as she twirls and capers,
And when she pauses to resume, as a sugar heap it tapers;
As a pappus, she for a while rises and floats in the air,
Alights too as slowly as the same, oh what a flair!
She with her toe so elegantly executes pirouette,
Only other which will do this is a spin top and her silhouette!
The entrechats surprise me and are enchanting,
As I count the leg crosses, eyes seem scanting
In that step, as butterfly wings, her legs flutter
I am here stupefied with no word to utter
As the prettiest angel that I can ween,
As the nearest iceberg that I have seen;
Sometimes she flies, sometimes she glides
Giving reasons for her, in my mind, to abide...
Hey Neethu, Great lines. Appreciated. Thanks for this kind of Poems
I Loved this one.... It was written so nicely, i could completely picture it all
A beautiful poem about the ballet dancer. You described the moves so very eloquently and smoothly. Nice rhythm and rhymes. Much adored.
you have picturised the ballet dancer so beautifully and immortalised the dancer in your poetic composition, , it is difficult to separate the dancer from dance and poetry from poet/ here poetess :)
Feels like I’m there! This as well as other poems by Neethu, paints a vivid picture of the experience. While never having attended a live ballet performance, I feel like I’ve been to one now. Can’t wait for your next poem, keep the great poems coming.

Can anyone else describe a ballet dancer in such a rhythmic way! ! This is pure skill.
