Graceful, slender lines and form
Delicate touch of toes to floor
Twirl and leap in perfect execution
A little girl smiles, her first recital
Tense parents in the front row
Marvel at her beauty and poise
Worry that she will trip or fall
Glowing with pride for thier child
She dances fluidly as if in flight
her mind lost in another world
The music flowing over and through her
She is the dance, miniature primadona
gooey marshmallow filling dripping
