Anna’s Dying Swan

Was always rated top class

Dark,yet full of light.

Swan Lake

                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the dark pushing

Through damp clay towards  the light

Rising to the  top

Floral Dance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turning a  deaf ear

He clawed his way  to  the top

Flying feet so light

The  Swan

Up  early can’t  be late

This is the culmination of months of wait.

Sorting clothes what to wear it seems a strain.

Hurry make your mind up  we can’t  miss that  train.

 

Six of us  travelling up to town

On the train then underground!

We walked about  a mile

Had  lunch in a great pub..that made us smile.

 

Come girls hurry hurry

I want  to get to the ballet.

OH! my  what wonderful seats

So wonderful to watch those fleet  feet!

Mathew Bourne’s Swan Lake.

Homeward  bound, happy  and tired

All our senses have been fired!

Six  Ladies  been to town

Seen the Ballet … not  let down!

The Ballerina

Just like being stretched upon the rack

bruised toes and aching back.

Practice practice every day

no time to sooth those pains away.

Willowy thin is hard to maintain

you have to be strict and refuse treats

again and again.

If you grow too wide or too tall

you will loose it all, your dreams will

tumble and fall.

A brief moment of glory portraying

Nutcracker or the  Swanlake Story.

A few weeks of fame, reward for a

lifetime of self denial and pain.

Then back in the chorus no one even

remembers your name .
