Danseuse

Waltzing through air, this vision with beguiling delicate grace
Like a danseuse figure, poised, carving delicate grace.

A breeze gently embraces this fragile creature
touching nimble limbs, a limber accentuating delicate grace.

Sunlight streams iridescent on her lissome stance
symmetrically lithe and supple, flaunting delicate grace.

Rhythmic movements pattern fawn colored sand creations
nudging grass beneath, with a soothing delicate grace.

The boundless energy of this dainty, flighty antelope
as she ambulates gracefully, epitomizing, delicate grace.

Elusive, mysterious, uninhibited, she basks in nature’s fold
within a cosmos, spangled with, pleasing, delicate grace.

Her vulnerability fills me with foreboding and much fear
of bloodthirsty predators, massacring delicate grace.

  1. I was not sure where your graceful poem was headed and I loved that! An element of surprise contained in your lines. You describe dancing antelopes so beautifully and perfectly. I used to love to watch them when I lived in Northern AZ. Their movements do seem choreographed, especially when they are moving in a herd. Creative and fitting title. 🦌💓

      1. It is a delightful adventure traveling the paths that your mind creates, and there are always many splendid, unexpected, and beautiful things to gaze upon. 🥰 Mind delights I don’t mind.
        Sorry… Northern Arizona is considered the high country north of Phoenix, Arizona. Up in the mountains. I used to stop my car and watch antelope run and leap and graze. Beautiful animals. I hated to see the graceful creatures spooked.
        Thank you. 😊 💖

      3. Travel, we do, through the pathways and highways that pulsate and vibrate with each heartbeat. A journey that begins through the mind’s eye. Not concerned with a destination – exploring and discovering are the ultimate treats for poet’s, like you and I. 💕

        Yes, any time in nature is a treat and there are always surprises and abundance to be found.

  2. Lovely all the way through, of course–my fave pick: “carving delicate grace”–for some reason this really moved me…I guess the notion that “delicate grace” can be ‘carved’–obviously with a careful, gentle knife or tool.

  4. I pray grace will spread and others will dance to the tune of love and light to shame, blind, sending predators back into their dark caves. I’m so sick of their constant growling and blood shed. And also…a beautiful poem, yassy. An expression of sad hope.
