Christmas Tradtions...

[boogieshoes]

I went to the Nutcracker yesterday,
put on by the Mobile City Ballet.
A hundred little girls,
hair in bright bows and tiny curls,
spinning round in pretty dresses,
eyes wide as saucers watching
pas de deuxs across the stage,
proclaiming:
'Daddy, I want to dance!'

Dressed in wine-dark gown and beaded shawl,
a bit of sparkle in my hair.
The music in my head, wings rushing in air,
math the romance in my heart,
content to watch
the hundred little ballerinas,
a pas de deux across the stage.
I am singing:
'Daddy!  I've learnt to dance!'

not bad.:) But I have no way to criticize, comment on or analyze poetry other than that.

*grins* that's ok, i don't really know how to write poetry. besides which, it's one of those mediums where you either like the result, or don't. analyzing it doesn't do much good.
