There it hung gracefully in the darkness, <br />So beautiful I could not resist, <br />I shall go to the silk ball and dance with the stars. <br /> <br />I used the clouds as steps and the stars formed me a ladder, <br />And I touch the ball, <br />It is so silky and as smooth as milk, <br />I dance all night with it. <br /> <br />I come back home and tell the amazing news, <br />But of course no-one believed me, <br />But, I shall treasure it as my memory for ever. <br />For I danced with the ball of silk! <br /> <br /> <br />© Kitty Cotton<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-danced-with-the-ball-of-silk-by-kitty-cotton-my-great-niece-aged-11-set-of-three-poems/
