Thoroughly Poetic Pictorial Thursday

Today we join Two  SPOILED CAT 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Here is today's photo prompt

We thank Mom Pam for all the effort she puts into finding 

these lovely photos for us.

Tiny Dancer

by Madi(son) D Cat

When sissy was wee, around about three,

she told mom a tiny dancer I want to be.

She dreamed of tutu's and ballet shoes.

On her toes she wanted to stand. 

There were no classes for girls under four.

Within a few months Mom looked some more.

She found a dancing class with an open door.

Sissy's smile of glee brightened the room

As she danced and twirled and learned to "push the floor away",*

She learned poise and posture life's lessons galore.

Note 1 from Mom:

Today's picture brought back likes of found memories of instructor.

The teacher was just the best she had all kinds of phrases that helped the younger children learn steps...one I remember, 

"pliés and push the floor away"  

Note 2 from Mom:

Some where in this house (I looked everywhere)

 I have a darling photo of Madi's Sissy

in her first dance recital photo.  The four and five year old ballerinas were

little mice.  Their costumes was precious light gray leotard with a mouse tail,

pink tutu, pink ballet slippers, and headbands that were mouse ears.

This might give you an idea.

It was on this day in 1789, that Congress approved an Act for the establishment and support of lighthouse, beacons, buoys and public piers. In Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the signing of the Act and the commissioning of the first Federal lighthouse, Congress passed a resolution which designated August 7, 1989 as National Lighthouse Day.  Read all about it here
