Day #16 in the Poem-A-Day challenge brings us the prompt: pirouette. Born with a total lack of coordination, I've never been able to master the art of dance. My inspiration comes from a gift I wish I'd been given.
A PIROUETTE ROMANCE
A tiny girl in leotards
awaits her turn to dance.
She watches those who go before
a child within a trance.
From first position, it is clear
she’s worth more than a glance.
This tiny youth has much to share,
a talent far advanced.
But gifts arrive at any age,
and hers was not by chance.
She shows the beauty of ballet,
a pirouette romance.
