Flex the calf, and lift to toe
In satin bends the under sew
A stitch across and one beneath
Above the ankle strapped in sheath

Above the thigh, a skirt of lace
In pirouette to flit with grace
A bended knee a light foot prance
Above the bodice sleek in stance

The head held high in royalty
In silken moves so fluttery
In turn of waist and charming sway
Each Lady Slipper moves this way

What?  Nahhhh,  not Victoria's Secrets....

Much more elegant than that....perhaps
Cinderella at the Ball...

Just kidding,  love the flow and the feel of
this ...  certainly befitting a slipper...

PS..is this about flowers?  Yeah,  remember I am
just a rusty old knight...coming in,  dusty, tired
and full of Balogna.....Horticulturist???  NO,  
sorry....send book....pictures....lots of pics....

Kathleen, I also thought of dancing...like Cinderella at the ball with the prince, just dancing away....
