Hello Mystery Writer!
Lovely 5/7/5! I adore fuchsias, but I have the darndest experiences with them. These "ballerinas" do not like much wind, and unfortunately, we are pretty breezy where we live. Beautiful imagery!

thank you!

    Fuchsias grow very happily where I live - I love them too. There are many different varieties; the bold colours are very appealing.

    Yes, I am partial to the pale pink ones. And I will purchase some this spring...if it ever stops snowing here! :)

That is a particularly splendid specimen of a fuschia in your picture, and one that you describe precisely with your metaphor. Very nicely done, The alliteration of the 'b's works well.

Very nicely done. I never looked at fuchsia that way before. Very creative imagery. They even seem to have pointed toes.
Best of luck with the voters.

Peace, Lee

delightful analogy. They do look like tiny ballerinas in this picture.
Good visual in your word choices, painting a picture to match the one chosen.Your description is fanciful and lyrical.
Very nice.
Good luck in the contest.
