ballerinas dance
in fairy dusted toe shoes
a twirl of ribbons
adorning dainty ankles
satin steps ascend to air

What a pretty, soft tanka....I always wanted to be a ballerina - but took tap and jazz instead...

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
