Snowflake Dancers

Snowfall prancers Ballerina dancers Gracefully, they pirouette in the air Frosted crystals, though never a pair Scene enhancing Vision entrancing Ballet romancing Costumes white Tumbling flight Snowflakes flew in for their audition Each posed in an Arabesque position Swift Allegros Slower Adagios Pointed tiptoes Emerging sun Recital done With risen mercury, the sunlight pelted Each tiny snowflake had been melted Ballerinas lost Tragic Holocaust Performance tossed * * * January 3, 2021 Trinet Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May
