NaPoWriMo Day 24 – Ice Dancer
Today’s NaPoWriMo is inspired by Grace’s ice skating lesson. She is now on level 4 and I know that it is getting harder for her. She is doing so well and I believe that rather than a skater she will probably become a dancer but these lessons are building her confidence and self-belief.
Ice Dancer
Gliding, dancing, spinning round
Lost in music, not touching the ground
Looking so poised, as I perform
Music can be upbeat or forlorn
Beauty in appearance and in dance
Balance and rhythm is my stance
Danger lurks if I slip on the ice
Approaching a jump, need to think twice
As I come to the end I hear the crowd
The applause I hear is oh so loud
I curtsey and smile and then I wave
I’m the Ice Dancer – graceful and brave
