Something For Pyotr

Is anything more beautiful

than a Tchaikovsky waltz

 

The Nutcracker sublime,

Swan Lake to exalt

 

Where violins elevate,

and horns renew hope

 

Archangels in heaven,

by his music elope

 

Is anything sweeter

than a Tchaikovsky refrain

 

Wind instruments sonorous,

flutes pouring like rain

 

Percussion calls out,

as you rise from your seat

 

No choice but to dance

  —your circle complete

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)
