The Dancer

Tall, graceful dancer;
Slim, strong woman;
Long, brown hair;
Large, chestnut eyes;
Warm, friendly smile.

A joyous dance;
She runs, jumps;
The playful music;
Keeps time with
Her feet, or
She with it;
Blending perfectly together.

The dance and
Music continue, celebrating;
A song joins;
Melodious, wonderful, seamlessly
Joining dancer and
Music - joyous celebration;
Life's wonderful lesson.

Tall, graceful dancer;
Quick, harmonious music;
Beautiful, melodius song;
Spinning, whirling mixture;
Joyful, wonderful life.
