This week's writing challenge from
Five Sentence Fiction
( Lillie McFerrin Writes ) is based upon the prompt:
Dazzles
|
What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week Lillie posts one word for inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word.
Another poem. Free-form.
Dancing Visions
It is her dream: to dance.
Illuminated by the glow of a single spotlight,
She begins.
Her body sways,
Outstretched arms undulate
Emulating flowing waters.
Then hands,
Rising into the air like lifting fog,
Fall like rain
Onto the black rubber rims.
The wheelchair twirls,
Sparkling in the sunlight from between tattered curtains
As the audience within her reverie,
Dazzled by beauty,
Applauds.

There are theatre groups which sometimes hold sessions where people in wheelchairs can enjoy dance. I think it's wonderful.

This poem seems to mix the emotions of the young lady (as I see her) with those of the reader. I know I am biased, but I enjoyed writing it as well!

ReplyDeleteTrue. And when I read it, I can almost hear the music in the background!

So lovely and loving; I was taken away with her
