Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #194

 

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Last week Angel Sammy mentioned they had given us a ballet picture years ago...at that time I could not find the photo of Madi's favorite Sissy.

They did in 2018  Madi wrote the poem.  I repeat the poem today and this time I have the real photo.

 Tiny Dancer

by Madi(son) D Cat

When sissy was wee, around about three 

she told mom a tiny dancer I want to be.

She dreamed of tutu's and ballet shoes.

On her toes she wanted to stand. 

There were no classes for girls under four.

Within a few months Mom looked some more.

She found a dancing class with an open door.

Sissy's smile of glee brightened the room

As she danced and twirled and learned to "*plies and push the floor away"

*is heels touching and toes pointing out

She learned poise and posture life's lessons galore.

Sis of Angel Madi 

Note Mom:

The teacher was just the best she had all kinds of phrases that helped the younger children learn steps...one I remember, 

"pliés and push the floor away"
