a dance of autumn
By Dani Harris
Inspiration Piece
the leaves giggle,
rustling to cover the sound
as they glide through the air
secretly performing their ballet of autumn ~~
- pas de deux ~ a duet of two
- pirouettes aplenty ~ whirling this way and that
- {seeming to a passerby to be blown about by a breeze}
- relevé ~ being lifted, as though by a sudden gust of wind
- soutenu en tournant ~ a series of turns in quick succession
- tours en l’air ~ turns in the air… one… two… three times
- and, of course, always a waltz
only the wind is aware of the dance
as much fun for him as the leaves
a joy to be had but once a year
the joy of dancing in the autumn air

Beautiful. This is a picture I’ll want when all the leaves are down and it’s gray and cold outside.
