Dress Rehersal
Dress Rehersal
By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney ©02
Ladies’ sounds in dress rehearsals…
Showers the room with spherical sounds.
A bounty coming forth from luscious lips crooning pearl drops…
From the ladies’ sounds in dress rehersal.
Shall the universe be in repast?
Engorging on this poetic parade…
A soul serenade…
Twinkling twilights caught in the moment
The soul serenade from the other side of muse…
A ladies’ sound in dress rehersal.
Bell tones…
Vibraphones…
Silvertones…
Work those bones!
Midnight hands serving as the backdrop.
Candlelight dressing the ambience…
A staging so grand…
That even the sun…
And the moons…
And the stars...
Must stand in rapturous wonder…
For the ladies sounds in dress rehearsal
