the play's the thing



Daffodil’s Debut

the snow is almost gone
and, though I’ve had no time to practice,
today is my day to shine

“Stand up straight.”
“Be brave, little daffodil,
you’ll do us proud.”

here I am,
watching the grass grow,
waiting nervously for my cue

"Spring."

I heard it! I’m on! Ta Da!
I am here to fill your heart with joy!


Tonight is the dress rehearsal of HMS Pinafore, in which my husband is starring in a leading role. So, naturally, a dramatic image came to mind when I saw this beautiful prompt from Abbey of the Arts at Christine's Invitation to Poetry

Have you had your playing time today?
