I'm still a corporate slave, but I've decided to do my best at ballet too ~A haiku as a business card~

Good morning.
This is Mamanosuke (*´▽｀*)/

Actually, as a mother, I have been
doing classical ballet for 15 years ( *´艸｀)

Ballet, which I couldn't learn as a child
because my parents stopped me ( 一一)

When my daughter started it, I thought
maybe I could do it too~ ( *´艸｀)
and with that lighthearted feeling,
I started taking lessons (∀｀*ゞ)hehe

But... actually, as a mother, I'm completely (*´д｀)hopeless at exercise
and my flexibility is ＼(~o~)／zero~

ストレッチしては足がつり
・・・イタイ・・・~(>_<。)

足を開こうしてひっくり返り
ε＝＼＿＿〇＿ ｽﾞｺｰ

ーレッスンの振付も覚えられず
?(ο´・д・)?? ??r(・x・｡)ｱﾚ???

先生もあまりのことに放心状態
・・・(；꒪⌓꒪)・・・・・

Even so, as a mother

“Mom, do your best! (^^)!
I'll teach you (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ”

My daughter, seeing me struggle,
gives me one-on-one lessons at home (´∀｀*)ufu

Thanks to that, I've been able to
continue ballet for 15 years ( *´艸｀)

For these 15 years, I've gone to lessons twice a week,
and I've continued muscle training and stretching
at home every day, but...

As soon as I started working from home due to COVID,
I became a corporate slave with constant overtime ((+_+))

Because of that, for the past six months, I haven't been able to go to lessons,
and I've been too tired to even do my stretches at home.
I thought, maybe ballet is impossible now ( ﾉД`)sob...
just when...

The announcement for the recital arrived (>_<)

・・・(-ω-;)Hmm
I'll give up this time (ノД`)・゜・。

“・・・Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ! What!!
You've had a perfect attendance record until now (ﾟдﾟ)!”

(-ω-;)Yeah...
I just don't have the confidence this time ( ﾉД`)sob...
Between work, the Dream Consultation Room, and preparing to quit being a corporate slave,
I don't think it's possible ((+_+))

“・・・Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ! What!!
You were working hard at your job
for the sake of ballet, weren't you!!”

・・・(-ω-;)Yeah...
That's true, but ((+_+))

“But are you really okay with that (・・?

・・・( 一一)Because...

“Isn't ballet your
life's work, Mom (・・?”

...( -_-)... That's true, but
...but... in my current situation (>_<)

Even my friends in the Dream☆Consultation Room
are continuing their work, their notes, and the things they love,
aren't they!!

...Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ! That's right...

Keiko-san is leaving for her long-awaited
trip abroad with her daughter (*´艸｀)

Kumashina-san just finished riding
the Hakone course on a road bike
and is already challenging the next goal (*´艸｀)

Yuzu-san published a wonderful book (*´艸｀)

Fuu-san won the grand prize at the Tsurukame Cup
while working as a haiku competition crew member (*´艸｀)

Everyone is working, keeping up their notes,
and managing to do the things
they love too Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ!

Look! Everyone is properly valuing
their own time, aren't they (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ
Mom, you don't have to give up either (^^♪

You're right (*´艸｀)
Alright! Then Mom will
participate in the recital too (*^-^*)

But Mom, if you're going to be in the recital,
you need to be prepared not to work overtime!
Otherwise, you won't be able to go to lessons (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

...Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ! No overtime...
That might also lead to
the path of escaping corporate slavery (´∀｀*)ufufu

Oh my (*´艸｀) That's killing two birds with one stone!!
Now that you've decided, do your best (*´▽｀*)/

(*´꒳`*)/Yes!
Aiming for the recital a year from now,
I'll do my best starting today (ง๑ •̀_•́)ง

I had almost given up on the recital,
but I decided to participate! (^^)!

With that thought in mind, here is today's tanka (*´▽｀*)/

There was another wonderful project, so
I decided to participate #A haiku as a business card
