Notes About The Poem

Black Swan

              Lovely white angels
      whispered next to my pillow
in my sleep that I was the black swan.
             My pillow as a stage,
  I was dancing as a prima ballerina. 
         You took me for a while,
         I had you for a moment.
           Both together dancing
            forever on my pillow
    to have the best performance.

Oh this gives so many various emotions, and the descriptive imagery emanates a euphoric vibe. I love the way you’ve written this. And i think black swans are gorgeous. And the ballerina dance with pillow as a stage depicts so many dreams within. Mellifluous and moving. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light

Lovely dream, Maria, and fine poetry. Our aunt and Uncle both danced for the New York Metropolitan Ballet for years before forming the Dallas Metropolitan Ballet Company. She was the prima ballerina. Sara and I enjoy going to their performances. Lovely subject for a poem, my friend. Have a pleasant day! Bill
