Ballerina

Missing image
She danced
among the evergreens
under dark of night.

she entertained -
uncaring of her nakedness.
The forest was her master.

Author notes

the pic prompt looks like a naked wooden ballerina to me, so that was my inspiration for this piece.

    I too received this image via email Terry, and, like you I saw the dancer - that's where it stopped for me but you went that one mighty step further and produced your lovely verse. I believe this is what the photographer saw too.

  • I really enjoyed it. A little longer than most haiku but this is what it felt like to me. Your words compliment the picture and add meaning. Very creative, thanks for writing.
