Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
She dances while she struggles with heartbreak.

Dancing Ballerina

by jacquelyn popp

She dances each night
While the town sleeps.
She dances with a burning desire
Dancing gracefully, gliding across a glistened street.
Dancing ballerina
A soft, illuminous glow upon her.
Dancing in the light
Of dancing, candle lit lanterns from above.
She hears a favorite melody
From when they had danced together.
And she dances with heartache
Perhaps to clear her mind, or to escape.
Unaware of the time
She dances, yet to another song.
Before she realizes
That it is almost dawn.
And reflects in her many thoughts
That it is better to dance, then to weep.

This is a poem that I had written in the 80s in high school. I revised it some and wanted to post it. Hope you enjoy.
