Snowy snow flakes dance ballerinas. Melts on my shoulders runs down my arms. Drips off my fingers, lingers no more. Still dances refreezes in crystals reflects, dances ballerinas in midnights delights. Love your poem and composition of your poem. Sometimes like to answer with a poem. Hope you don't mind. Thanks so much for sharing.

Good creative presentation. The appearance is appealing and fits well with your message. Good color harmony. The colors chosen work well together. Good technique. Good clear images. Good depth of field. Good points of interest. Great story telling ability. Great job. I could see this in a children's book or on a child's wall. Very creative.

Creative and fun - great use of blue for the white stars - Shape poems are fun and this is certainly a delight. Very enjoyable. Sue

A very artistic and creative piece of art including a very nice poem. It's nice to see something unique. Your idea for a dark blue background makes your design pop. Nice design, nice composition. Well done. Eleanor

    Hi Eleanor, Thank you so much. In poetry they have shape poems where you create a shape with your poem. I didn't like the traditional form where a bunch of words are stuck together in a lump. I wanted to make mine a little more airy. This is the first poem I did. I have several of them now and I wondered how they would do over here. My idea came from thinking that you could frame this and have a visual image and also have a poem you could read. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. If this does well, I'll add it to the other images I post here. I really appreciate your wonderful review. helvi :o)

    Hi jesuel, Thank you so much!!! They have shape poems in poetry, but there just a lump of letters. I wanted my poem to be airy and really create an image, thats how this came about. I'm glad you like it. Thank you for the great review. helvi2

This is very very creative. You have done a lovely job of maintaining the shape of your ballerina while incorporating your poem. Nicely done. Shirley

This is truly original and very creative. Your use of the word program has really done a great job with this. The bakcground helps the text stand out and the white text itself was a good way to go.

    Hi dazzleme, Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you like my new creation. Shape poems have always been around in poetry, but most of them are a bunch of lumpy letters. I wanted to make them airy and actually have a recognizable image. This is the first poem I created. I have several of them now and hope the photographers and artists like them, if so I'll add more. Thanks for starting me off with a great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. helvi2
