Question: Maybe something cool for steamy day glides!?
Ice Ballerina

effervescent, the
dancer glides through hazy fog
sharpened steel blades lead

frozen water holds
spectacles beneath eyeing
prisms view both ways

watching, bubbles rise
graceful ballerina flows
crackling sounds applaud

edges tip…rise on side
cloth garment stretched, wind propels
ice rider flyingWww@QuestionHome@Com

Thanks for cooling my day! Bravo!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm glad you clarified the ballerina being a boat, because I was actually thinking it sounded like a boat on ice but didn't want to say it and sound stupid if you were referring to a person! It could easily be either though - a human ballerina or a boat, and that is good writing (leaving it up to the reader!) I like this, great images!Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Ice rider flying," magnificent image!. I really love this poem and the imagery throughout it!.

EDIT: The Zamboni video is too funny!! (cf TD's link)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
