SHOW DISRUPTED


SHOW DISRUPTED

I heard
The rain
Fall
Even as the
Wind 
Howled...

My heart
Ached
As I 
Watched
The
Dance parade
Go
Awry.

After months
Of practice
And endless
Doubts 
Put away,
The tiny
Ballerinas
Stepped
On the 
World stage!

The music
Began
With a 
Boom
And a Crash
Yes, the 
Lighting
Was just
As 
In sync.

It didn't
Take long
Though
For the
Wind to
Ruin
It all...

It blew
Hard
So the
Ballerinas 
Were
In mid steps
Dispersed.
The 
Dance recital
Disrupted!

Ah wicked
Wind,
You've done 
The
Little ones
Wrong...

We were
All loving
The show
Until you
Burst into
Your howling
Song!

Quiet now
Let the
Rain drops
Dance
Upon
Their toes
For the
Remainder
Of 
The monsoon
Show!
