Book Cover & Preview Text
BALLERINA She floats across the stage with the grace of a swan Clear stiletto heels & brass pole Easily replaced With Ballet slippers and a barre, More to her taste They see her in leather lingerie She sees herself clad in silk and velvet finery She is on another stage in her mind She pauses to face the horny glares But she’s not there to return their stare Mr Gyno-row Depraved lost soul He never misses a show Eager to catch her eye Her affections he tries to buy But they are all faceless and nameless Speakers blare guitar, heavy rock The delicate aria of violins in her head; It doesn’t block Her body sways and bends forming strong straight Dancer lines Unappreciated by the patrons who she avoids like land mines She pauses to face their horny glares but she’s not there to return their stare She’s writing up her grocery list Bread – eggs – milk Another spin on the pole All the while wondering if she took out the trash This is what she does for cash An hour a day, a small price to pay They in their fantasy and she in hers She closes the door behind her as she floats off the stage She returns to her real life The transition as simple as turning a page The swan floats out the door and down the street seeking her lake In her sweatshirt and her jeans, dreaming her ballerina dreams

About the Author
Melody lives in the picturesque and tranquil British Columbia, Canada, just outside the city of Vancouver. Her writing experience has fundamentally been as a wordsmith for letters and articles: polishing corporate reports for others. Then, after being involved in the development of an independent film, her creativity stirred. She stepped outside the confines of business writing and her artistic spirit was born, and with it her joy. She writes fiction, but her true passion is poetry because it speaks the heart’s universal language. She is inspired by the works of Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, Charles Bukowski and fellow Canadian Shane Koyczan because they embrace all aspects of human behavior and of life. Melody believes life itself is her greatest muse. Her insightful reflections leave you with the sensation that she has reached into your heart, held your feelings in her hands, and then lets her pen tell your story, and often hers.
