Slowly,
She starts out.
A twirl. A spin.
Light steps
From here to there.

A smile.
A motion of her hands.
She whirls around
And her l o n g, black braid
Whirls with her.

Faster, faster.
Her elaborate costume
Shimmering with red and gold
In the light of the stage,
The henna covering
Her hands and feet,
It all becomes a colorful
Colorful, graceful blur.

Thudjim, thakadhim
The rhythm spangled
With beats and bells to
Guide her eyes, her face.
Wordlessly, she speaks.

With her body,
She weaves us a story
Of deer and heroes
Of good and evil
Of life.

Then

Slowly,
She ends.

A twirl. A spin.
Light steps
From here to there.

And she bows.
Deernt.
Rotting On Here
Deernt.

Amazing. Very well done. Bravisima. XD
I love how well you captured what seems to be this little "Dancer girl".
The description and vocabulary was used exceptionally.
And the flow has a unique twang to it.
Again I say, very well done.

Thank you. Actually, "there" is supposed to be placed an inch or two away from "here to" but the thingy won't let me!

Same with "long". The letters are supposed to be spaced to be longer, but it doesn't work...how sad.

You could always put underscores until the word is where you want it and then put the underscores in white color.

Anyway, I also thought your poem was very good. Awesome imagery.
