My Avatar
I use my image to express myself
and I dance along the edge of a page.
Astoundingly I think that I’m an elf,
an elf that thinks the Internet’s her stage.
I love to read fantastic poetry,
it makes me want to do my little dance
and if you write with perfect clarity,
I will appear and put you in a trance.
So if you see me dancing on your verse,
your poem is simply better than the rest.
I’m happy I could use it to rehearse,
for when you win the poetry contest.
So when you see my dancing avatar,
you know your poem will win the big cigar.
