Dressed for the Theatre

Formal attire in the latest fashion...

An Invitation to the Kennedy Center... 

Formal but not overstated we danced down 

the long Hall to be seated at the pleasure of 

Aristocrats with their wives dressed in Pearls and 

dangling diamonds with emerald and gold...   

It was foretold that the Russian Ballet would perform 

starring Rudolf Nureyev and Anna Pavlova... 

My lover and I were well feathered and versed 

in the movements of Swan Lake and the dying 

Swan.... we had seen the performance in Paris...   

Anna Pavlova with her dedication and talent was 

the most famous Russian ballet dancer ever.  

We were mellow having had Wine of Red Berries 

before our flight over the Potomac in the Nations Capitol.

A stunning evening at the JFK Center. In all the years living on the east coast, I've never been the the Center. You show us a dreamy evening all bedecked with gowns and jewels and a lovely description of Swan Lake, which I have seen many times in NYC.
Take good care, sending good wishes,
Betty

dearest Betty... this poem is is close to my heart... part of it is fiction and part is truth. We did take take our children and their friends in a large Truck with a a Mattress and Pillows in the closed in Bed of the Truck... and pillows so they would be comfortable on the round trip ride. They were in the upper grades 5th to 8th Grade ... so parents gave permission. It was a Fun time and great Culture also.
The dancers from New York I had only read about... but it seems to fit in with my poetry. tenderly, Pat

We have lived close to the Nations Capitol in
Washington, D.C. and have taken our young children
and their friends to see the Ballet of Sleeping Beauty at
the Kennedy Center. They were mesmerized by the graceful
movements of the dancers. During the Intermission, they
were thoughtful as though they had been in the presence of
Angels. tenderly, the Author, Pat

Sounds like a fun and interesting adventure.

dearest Beauty... my pleasure to have you be the first
to read my poem with a photo of a male and female Cedar Waxwing... sharing sips of Red Berries before their flight. I love to write personifications of Birds..
as if they were people. It is a "fun" adventure. Of course, I write fact with fiction. Thank you for your charming Review. truly, Pat
