It’s the end of the school year and papers start coming home. Some I’ve seen, some I’ve not. Kiddlebiddle had a fair amount of poetry writing this year (5th grade) and a couple have made me cry. I’m most impressed with this.
Ode to my Pointe Shoes
By Emma Jones
My pointe shoes make me fly
Turning, in a painful fairyland
The most difficult struggle
Of beauty
Tough gracefulness,
How can you keep me
At such an achievement
Softening a hard fall
Blood, sweat, and tears made fun
Canvas, glue, and satin
Have never been so exciting
Without you, how can I feel so high above
You are awesome
You let me push through pain
Onto Strong Beauty
Into an open door for creativity.
