Great, such a lovely image of the chubby little toes going up en pointe- I mean your words, not the picture, although that's cute too.

Thanks for sharing

What a nice poem to accompany the image. It is easy to imagine that little girl dancing and twirling and jumping into adulthood to end up on stage a s a solo ballerina.

I saw her or someone like her who is very overweight, and she is a professional ballet dancer. Nice tribute to a girl who beats the odds.
Good luck in the contest,
Cindy

Ballet takes a lot of practice and concentration. I tried it but I would rather ride my horse than attend classes. To rough on the toes or me I don't do pain very well.

    Hi there Barbara. I did not know you like horses. Glad to learn something new about you. Thanks so much for the review... I did not take ballet either... I enjoyed softball. :)

What a delightful poem Melissa, those pudgy toes, with legs to match perfectly. It reminds me of the calisthenics competitions (an Australian invention, somewhere between gymnastics, exercises, March,and dance) my girls at three, were involved as "babies" and were a lot like your artwork, well done, great post, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy. I just loved seeing those baby toes and thought it would match well. I only had boys so never got to see the dance classes or performances. Hope we have granddaughters some day. :)

What an adorable photo! You've captured the child's instinctive feel for movement - her inner ballerina. She is a delight to all who see her chubby little legs and toes mimicking more skilled artistry. Your poem itself is skilled artistry.

    I guess someone must be holding her up in the photo... those little toes don't look too secure.

I love your poem, it flows quite nicely just like the little ballerina dancing. I can see her doing her moves in my mind and the picture, I find...very cute! R56ma3
