to live in snow globe

winter night’s velvet-soft silence

shaken…

startle-dark rumble of snow thunder births

frosty six-pointed stars in original designs

       to flutter-twirl down…

                 graceful ballet dancers

dressed in dazzle-white tutus,

       falling into drifts…

their collective diamond-glitter fluff reflects

as sun’s morning rays break into joyful applause!

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!!
