Petrushka

Snow falls,
Tree towers,
Balalika calls,
Love flowers,
Cossaks dance,
Tolstoy writes,
Ponies prance,
Northern lights,
Music dreams,
Audience claps,
Russian Scenes,
Reality back.

7th August 1991 - The Royal Albert Hall, London, England.

This short poem was written after listening to a performance of Stravinsky's Petrushka at a Prom concert.

-Richard
