"ballerina"

pirouette
twirling slowly in circles on bare toes
young arms arched over head of frizzy brown locks
a face of concentration and happiness
a feeling of importance in eyes
in a pretty pink tutu
ballerina...
...bright spotlights, worn wooden stage
twirling in circles on soft satin toe shoes
arms arched gracefully over head of ringlets
same face of happiness
in a pink leotard and sheer lace skirt
bouquets of roses await
