Hi Jim

We're both on the same wave length - that's why I called back quickly as I feel it does hint that the breeze is practising.

I'm afraid now that I've started pronouncing battements with 2 syllables - I can't think of it with 3 any more ghostface.gif

Perhaps I could go with Lori's suggestion after all --

as breezes fan and serenade
her - ballet pointes battements tendus.


or as breezes fan and serenade
her, while she pointes battements tendus


but then I would be adding the she back which I wanted to get rid of.

I'm also making a slight change to the last stanza, as I feel 'her' follows too closely to 'her' in the stanza before

With lofty body proudly posed
her feet secured against each storm,
she wavers, endless arms exposed
‘til emerald ruffles dress her form.


I think that sounds ok?

If you should return today, I'd appreciate your view on Lori's suggestion, which I think I'll go with. I can't get back to this until tonight as my son is here for the day ... but I'm still considering any possibility.
Phew! I have until tomorrow!


Hi Lori

When you come back please follow convesations between Jim & myself to see where my mind is. LOL! I've definitely decided to go with battements tendus (at the moment)

What time are you sending them off tomorrow? LOL! I've never been so last minute! HELP!

Hi Snow - I like the current revision as is:
as breezes fan and serenade
her - ballet pointes battements tendus

I say go with it! ballet.gif

Hi again Snow,

my problem with that line is the short enjambement from the previous one. Have been thinking about it but can't come up with anything better than Lori's suggestion - would it make sense to drop Lori's dash so that the breezes are serenading the dance?

there is a contradiction between 'secured' l2 and 'wavers' l3; perhaps substitute 'extended' for 'she wavers' and develop the alliteration there?

Hi Lori

Yes - I think this is best at the moment. I certainly like the sounds of ballet and battement (which is why I used them originally)

Unless I have inspiration in my sleep tonight - this will stay! LOL!

Thanks Lori

Thanks for returning here, Jim.

I am going with Lori's suggestion. As to the short enjambment I feel it is acceptable. (Someone once said it was agressive enjambment) I'm thinking I might put a semi colon after her and write the rest in italics as Lori has - to kind of seperate.

as breezes fan and serenade
her; ballet pointes battements tendus.


As for the last stanza, I really meant that her feet were secure and just her arms wavered. I think I placed the comma wrongly and if I change the placement of the comma from after wavers, to after arms - it might make a difference.

With lofty body proudly posed
her feet secured against each storm,
she wavers endless arms, exposed
‘til emerald ruffles dress her form.

Phew! what a lot to think on LOL!

Yes - had a nice day with my son. Hope you are completely well now. You've been missed!
