The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Ballet dancer holding giant fan.


Dance

I’m a fan of ballet
spreading myself
as a peacock’s tail
a sun in semi eclipse

to free a muscled leg
that points in accusation
the dance of hidden veil
when mannered pose is struck.


Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 05.01.24
Prompt: As per illustration.
