Prompt:
Write a sijo.
This is a traditional Korean verse form.
A sijo has three lines of 14-16 syllables.

the second discusses it, and the third line,
which is divided into two sentences or clauses,
ends the poem – usually with some kind of twist or surprise.

She dances, inward concentration. Axis twirling, herself centered.

Lightness of veils around her, seem to hide fairy or gracious elf.

When movement stops, the fading breeze is her lonely farewell.
