Check out d’Verse Poets where Bjorn is hosting the pub’s first quadrille…
This poem is dedicated to my cultured friend, Karen D.K. 🙂

my friend and i
thrill to quadrille
in beginning scene
of Tchaikovsky’s
beloved Nutcracker
when professional
ballet company
dazzles our rural
community and
invites local youth
to dance dreams staged
as mice and soldiers,
angels, snowflakes,
candy canes or
polichinelles…
and we have tickets!!

Every year there is a production of it in Seattle, but I have never attended it; as you describe it–it must be a joyous entertainment. I will have to put it on my bucket list.
