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)
