The tale Tchaikovsky wove that day Lives on and on upon a stage Spun by pirouettes ...and plie's An epic story of love conveyed Through the beauty of ballet Prince Siegfried and his Queen Odette Who gave their lives without regret To live forever bound together As beautiful birds of a feather As two swans upon a lake Author: Elaine C.

Dear Elaine, your poem beautifully captures Tchaikovsky's ballet's timeless elegance and emotion. The imagery of pirouettes and pliés weaving an epic tale of love is enchanting. Your words evoke the grace and passion of Prince Siegfried and Queen Odette, forever intertwined like swans upon a lake. Very enchanting piece. - Blessings, Daniel
