Entrechat




Nureyev with wings 

lifting twirling pirouette

nature’s tour de force




* Entrechat is a ballet move that is performed in the air.

    Patti,
    Classic dance, classic comparison, classy haiku.
    Your imagery in words is uplifting (not to mention literate!)

    So like Nureyev, hummingbirds have always amazed me. I loved this haiku and the way your words joined to create a beautiful image in my mind. Nureyev. Hummingbird. Yes. They go together perfectly.
