Excellent Overworked Perform by Marion Issa Write a Quatern contest entry Artwork by sharonazar at FanArtReview.com

See her dance unto the rostrum Frabric flourish blossoming dress Toes tip tap timed to perfection  Smile so moreish, dainty, finesse   Jump n toss, wobble and fumble See her dance unto the rostrum Silly flails, twirls of cloddish joy Rhythm off, misstep and tumble     Skipping beats, hardly a trotter Silent gawks, as ghostly whispers See her dance unto the rostrum From the seats, an ant in water     Out of breath, lungs spilling lather Weak n frail , the end of dancer Urged to death, maggots gather n See her dance unto the rostrum       Author Notes The audience, even if for a moment, were disappointed with her dancing, before baring witness to a heart attack. No one can dance forever, take a break
