Child Performers

“recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, live breezes blown..”
    Quote by _ Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

                  Child Performers

                    My father most strict!
                 Only one ultimate verdict:
                 “Read read and study.”
                 No fun, no entertainment.
                 In childhood me imprisoned.

                   I prayed to allow:
                   At least in school vacation.
                    To learn music-dance.
                   Prayer was not considered.
                   Oblivious refusal.

                   Me energetic.
                   Trained playmates by whimsy skill.
                    Enthusiasm!
                   Arranged Kiddish dance drama.
                    Stage show followed in Merry.

                   Summer vacation:
                   Enjoyed with all child artists.
                   My dynamic throw.
                   Succeeded to build a team.
                   The start of ‘ Child Performers’.
