Premium Member A Gift From Germany
Our Christmas traditions ... They came across the sea, From the old, old towns In the heart of Germany Sugar and spice - filled Were the gingerbread men, Cut by hand ... carefully As was the tradition then A wooden nutcracker guards In a frosted windowpane, To keep away evil spirits ... Out wandering down your lane And, the advent calendar Which hung on the...

Premium Member Born To Dance
Born wearing ballet shoes without knowing, far in the deep nature, in the Sakhalin Islands, a ballet star opened his eyes for the first time. Warmed by the love of his family, he grew up happy until his life changed. He travelled without ballet shoes to Riga, where he saw a new beginning, still warmed by his mum. A beautiful blond seven year old...

Premium Member I Want To Be a Nutcracker
"I want to be a nutcracker!" Came my announcement one day. I won't need the strength of a linebacker to make my chosen profession pay. "I want to be a nutcracker!" Grasping them tight like in a vise. Even the big ones, I'd call a 'wacker.' I might have to squeeze those twice. "I want to be a nutcracker!" Those that are ripe enough...

Premium Member I Want To Be a Nutcracker
When I grow up I want to be a nutcracker my son said. I thought he meant ballerina, was he right in the head? It’s not because he’s a male but he simply can’t dance. As his mother I hoped that someone would give him a chance. I will hire him said grandma, all of my older squirrel friends...

The Nutcracker
Too big to Crack this nut. Too big to Crack a nut. But leave it up to imagination. Cosmo Star Beings and superstition. Producing a morning prayer rumpelstiltskin. Nut Cracked Her and sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Old rotten owl rumpelstiltskin. Odd and rotten in the days of the nutcracker....

Premium Member The Nutcracker---Sweet
THE NUTCRACKER…SWEET In my 69 years I had never seen the Nutcracker Suite…never experienced the ballet….never heard Tchaikovsky’s entire score…that is…until yesterday. As I sat captivated by the music…by the dancing and the fact there were no words to any song…I had to wonder to myself…what in heaven’s name has taken me so long! I watched the performance...

Premium Member Playful Nutcracker Stockings
The nutcracker stockings could not resist the urge to play They sat silent without moving the entire long day But at night when the lights went out, They began to whirl twirl, twist and shout We are the nutsies, the mighty mighty nutcrackers! These silly humans are crazy, completely polly-wackers! The humans heard, and two ran down the stairs. But the stockings...

Premium Member In the Chasm of the Nutcracker
In the chasm of the Nutcracker Shadows of urgency implode upon the stage Dancers are cloaked by ominous fog Mist oozing from the pleats and corners of nothingness In the chasm of the Nutcracker One lone pure one ballets across in magic slippers The lightest of foot, contrasting with the rest They are competing but she is the one you watch In...

snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling,   air misty ~ wind calm, serene,  sights outside blurred, indistinct through the hazy window-panes,  rooftops getting blanketed with white laces ~ a picturesque winter wonderland,  treetops embellished with silver ornaments, grasses caressed by soft touches of snow,   my heart is with you, craving for the profound tenderness of your company ~ It’s Christmas! Wish you...

Premium Member Dreams of the Nutcracker
Dreams of the Nutcracker When I am older, I will sweep you off your feet. I will take you from here, 2 a land far away. Birds will sing, and no one “unkind” will be allowed. There will be pretty colored flowers, everywhere, there will be fish, in the pond. When I am older, I will be a fireman,...

Premium Member Does Any Adult Slightly Wonder
The puffy, stomach-fattened mouse is closing in on the ballerina. They do a pirouette around the stage, and the crowd goes wild, But silently. This is an auditorium, and we are taught obedience By the mere reverent attitude of Nutcrackers past. But do the children go silently wild? Or are they now ripe for a good nightmare? Are...
