The imagery in this poem is superb! I loved the line "Her body as supple as a new-born branch." You take the reader through the dance with your words... leaving us breathless and wanting more.
I absolutely love watching Native Americans dance... there is nothing quite like watching a story that they tell come alive through their movements.
Wow! A movie made of words. I watched and enjoyed. If you listen closely, you will hear me saying "more! more!!"
I like the way you show me things I've never seen before. The verbs you chose are so specific that I could 'see' this dancer poised, on her toes,tinkling, gliding, pivoting, swaying and finally bowing.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
