Child’s play

The beautiful skater now spins on the ice,
\nThe audience gasps at the way that she glides.
\nShe jumps in the air while she pirhouettes twice
\nAs dozens more dancers come in from the sides.

\nThe audience gasps at the way that she glides.
\nThe musical backdrop now holds them entranced
\nAs dozens more dancers come in from the sides
\nImagine the awe as they see how she’s danced

\nThe musical backdrop now holds them entranced
\nSuch skillfull performers must practice for days
\nImagine the awe as they see how she’s danced
\nThe finest of all of her musical plays

\nSuch skillfull performers must practice for days
\nEach night after school she rehearses her art
\nThe finest of all of her musical plays
\nAnd she on her own will control every part

\nEach night after school she rehearses her art
\nThe Theatre they bought her for Christmas last year
\nAnd she on her own will control every part
\nEach final performance must fill her with fear

\nThe actors and dancers are real she pretends

\nThis is a pantoum, I am terrible at pantoums and similar French poetry with
\nrepeating lines. If you want to see one done well look at Amera who has a list
\nof good ones. I hope you can enjoy this one at least a little however.
