Ballerina of the Water

Beneath the surface The dolphin cuts Through the water Like a precise blade. Then rockets to the pool’s Surface with dexterity And soars, sheets Of water shoot Across its back. Then, as if by magic, The dolphin flies Into the air Wins the admiration of its audience. Vanishes in a split second Once more Under the water, It swims with agility As it screeches Clicks its teeth, The click clack of a pen. The dolphin barrels Up, up Once more.
