Nice picture, Melissa. :) Is she your niece? Sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words this is one of those pictures. :) Your poem gives it life with loving words of praise. Thank you for sharing.

This verse was fun to write and those little chubby legs and toes just made penning this all the more fun. So glad you liked it and, no, she is not my niece.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Very well done on the rhyming and syllable count on this poem. Like the descriptive words you have used, like "on chubby toes," and "a dancing whirl, this ballet girl."

Are you trying to melt my frozen heart? Now, I got something in my eye. This is so sweet and well made. And where on Earth did you find a picture of those chubby baby legs and itty-bitty toes.
Great form and theme.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Babies in particular tend to stand on their toes rather than the flat of their foot and this is a sweet and tender minute about this little girl practicing her ballet moves, well rhymed, perfect meter with well chosen words, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

They all want to to be ballet dancers at that age, but most grow too tall, or too heavy or graduate to rock 'n roll and a 'real' job (are there any left, do you think?)

Hi Jim. Thanks for your clever comments. I hope there are many who will pursue ballet because I love to watch them and admire their grace. Hope you are doing well over there!

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I really enjoy reading this Minute poem about the cute ballet girl. The rhyming scheme works so did the iambic meter. The syllable count is correct, too.
I'm glad you put French in it, too.
Well done.

Comment from Wendy G
I love the fact that the love of movement fills her soul with thrills untold - this paves the way for enjoying a healthy lifestyle, regardless of whether she continues with ballet. More important is the self-esteem, as she feels beautiful. A beautiful poem, thoughtful and sensitive, and well written.
