Stingray Ballet Poem by Paul Holmes

Stingray Ballet

Rating: 2.5


A warm, clear turquoise sea
Is the stage of a beautiful scene,
A majestic stingray ballet
Paints a picture so serene.

Like giant black butterflies
Flying in a liquid sky,
Two stingrays soar and glide
Almost effortlessly past my eye.

Gracefully they turn and swirl,
Pirouetting to perfection
This harmony of hearts
Stirs feelings of affection.

Spellbound by this display
Of superb synchronization
I begin to wonder what else
Will happen on this occasion.

As if to purposely please
They delight me some more
By performing with flawless poise
A most exquisite encore!
