        DANCING GIRL
     By ... Steve Lucky
 
Alone in the room she practiced
Watching her movements closely
By looking at her own reflection.
Her movements told a story
That combined ancient tradition
And modern ideas
Blended in a way never seen before.
Complex movements came only with age
But required youth to perform them.
That was why she practiced
Observing her movements closely in the mirror
That covered the entire wall.
All her greatness would come later
For now she would learn from her teacher
Who smiled as she entered the room
With the rest of her kindergarten class.
