A 'V' ONE VERSE
The German V1s flew
and made grey the blue.
But the Second-World-War was won
by our Mister Tommy Gun.
Find it was Britain's brave sons
who got to be the victorious ones.
AFTER-A-FIRST-PERFORMANCE
It was Nureyev -
at the ballet's close -
fell to his knee
accepting Fonteyn's rose.
Yes to one knee
the younger man fell
before the older ballerina
after they danced in Giselle.
NIJINSKY'S NYMPH
The faun rocked, rocked
upon a huge-rock,
nymph's scarf beneath him
she having fled the brook.
A ballsy ballet, Nijinsky,
a voyeuristic shock?
