The Broken Ballerina
"In life, as in the dance, grace glides on blistered feet"
The life of a ballerina isn't easy, it is an emotional and physical struggle. As much as it hurts, it's something I'm passionate about. But the reasons might not be clear to a few.
Contest Entry for Ellen Hopkins.

This is beautiful (: Really good imagery. I see her dancing, grimacing, and feel her struggle.
This is really beautiful poetry...the interpretation of ballet and extensive use of metaphors created a stunning masterpiece of writing. Voted.
Ah this is so beautiful & describes ballet so well! :) & the use of the dance terms was amazing!
Very nice. I liked how it sort of told a story and conveyed emotion. I love it when poems have stories to them. I really have no criticism for this. Good job!
I almost missed this. I thought it was a story and I usually only read poetry. This is very nice! I felt the passion of a ballerina (hmmm, or male verion).
