Ode To A Child Ballerina Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Ode To A Child Ballerina

Rating: 5.0


In Vienna you can find a concert everyday and everywhere,
Last night I've found you as a 'small mushroom' hearing notes by Tschaikowskj.
Last night I've heard other prominent notes.
One of them is female nature expressed in harmony.
On that stage of life every woman danced,
Only one girl is dancing again in Disney's Fantasia.
You're child, little Maria, a 'dear spring fairy' by Tschaikowskj.
For you the finale won't be 'All Together Now',
The Beat Generation retired on a pension,
For you I'll write 'The Three Grace's Dance' By your uncle Nanni.

Sweet and melodious your words are.... a tenderhearted tribute with a hint of humour! ! ! Your style is different and I am not sophisticated enough to recognise it... however, it resonates in me.

Fabulous, whoever posted this is a darling, I have never visited Viena but I am going to! I love that line about beat generation too! lol Although I doubt most of them would or will live long enough to get a pension, but what a nice thought! I used to want to be a Ballerina, but I was too short, now I just dance my life, my way. Tai
