Tiptoes

11
COM
Her balance begins on tiptoes.
Bare feet, hard floor dictate her prose.
She wanders Mammaw's living room.
One foot, left foot, right- look at her
Causing Papaw's blackbird a stir.
She pirouette's to her own tune,
In unperfected time and style
She crosses her stage with a smile-
This growing, six year old, fleshplume.

My poem is based on a childhood memory while visiting my mammaw and papaw.
