My version of "the Eagle"- "The Dancer"

Carefully she laces up her pink,satin shoes with shaky hands.
It is almost time and she is left to herself to make last minute preperations.
Hearing the audience on the other side of the curtain quiet down, she gets into a starting position.

The velvet, crimson curtains slowly part,
She looks out towards the crowd, with focus, as the spotlight is quickly focused on her.
Like a wishie, she swiftly piourettes onto the hardwood floor- almost quick enough to make her look like she was floating.

  1. The detailing is so lovely and still realistic--not too "fluffy." Play with line breaks, though, to emphasize your images so they don't get lost. not need to mimic Tennyson any longer!
