Grace And Grandeur

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Her undulating movement
is grace personified
a flexuous improvement in beauty reified.

Her angelic flutter swing
is celestial ballet
a gossamer fairy wing with see-through lingerie.

Her serpentine meander
is Gothic tracery
a convoluted grandeur of perfect majesty.

Her acrobatic dancing
is animated skill
a rapturous entrancing for energetic thrill.

Her magnificent physique
is candy for the eyes
a curvaceous mystique as seraphim disguise.
