BLACK SWAN IMPRESSIONS

A black swan...

Sculpture of

Ebon glass

Shadow brush

As you pass

Feathered glide

Glossy grace

Black silk lined

By black lace.

I enlarged the font to 16 before I posted this poem, but it didn't come out that way.

I remember the movie, though I never got to see it. I recorded it on y DVR, but something went wrong less than half way through, so I didn't' get to watch the rest of it.

I don't like trying to rhyme "glide" and "lined," but there just wan't anything else.

i saw the birds in your vision...but i also thought of the film with natalie portman...and saw a woman here, a ballerina ....beauty, grace, yet tortured expression....a certain darkness passes too.

this is my favorite of yours, Marie...

such beautiful grace in your words.

Thanks. I was not really describing a black swan here, but giving impressions of one. I think you saw that...

you brought out the beauty of one of the most graceful birds in existence with this short-line poem.
I've never seen one in the flesh. only in pictures and fairy tales. I wish we had them in my country.

Thanks. I've seen white swans, but never a black one. I don't live near a lake, so have never seen them in their natural habitat, but but I've been to a park where swans live.
