Little ballerinas drifting on top of the pool
Many of us are just about the same size
Each one of us poses as if in dance school
We open our arms to greet the sun's rise
As we follow Nature's strict time rule
Like tiny boats we float instead of capsize
When it's breezy we twirl around the stage
We're visual delights for visitors of any age
Dressed in mutivarious colors and hues
From adults down to the smaller sizes
Glide across the stage, no need for shoes
Groups of us live on top of green high-rises
Long elevator stems so winds can't choose
To carry us to places to meet our demises
We're a community of beauty in this pond
Captured by an artist of whom I'm fond
Our Tu Tus are delicate, their colors vary
According to the light or shade time of day
The deepest tint looking like a red cherry
In the morning as the sun rises up to stay
As time passes the shade casts its mystery
The colors are diluted as we close our array
Blues, yellows, pinks, purple and greenery
All colors are captured in water's scenery
