Ballerina Poem by Khauri Teverbaugh

Arched feet
Slender legs
Perfect posture
Softly rounded arms
Long elegant neck
A Ballerina

Flowing fabric
Showering roses
Bright lights
Loud applause
Opening Night

Dance of beauty
tired and sore
audience yelling
ENCORE! ENCORE!

Graceful bow
Curtains close
All go home
except
A Ballerina

Arched feet
Slender legs
Perfect posture
Softly rounded arms
Long elegant neck
Sleek face
tired and sore
Dancing alone
All for the beauty of
Dance
