Fresh leaves fall gently on the ground 
without making a sound
Piano keys softly caress 
warmed by sunlight gest
Brushing my senses on this delicate afternoon 
she plays on, as time just croons
I notice she has pinned her hair up just so 
a touch of mascara

Schooldays Western and Graduation Classics
Brought up from the womb of schooldays
Where memories still frames those mischief plays
Stuck with the thoughts of dreaming holly bolly babes
Comparing the beauties from among the best
The out and out gist, one surely misses those garlopholic days.

The morning alarm runs the cold water hot
Breakfast served...

Silence of the Classics
Cacophony of the front

Hopes and dreams define

Humanity, scenes of yesterday

Never to be forgotten, from haunting

Effects of childhood laughter

Uncertainties that become

Certainties, seldom been

Well explored to be

Moving remarkable

Response

Grace

Eloquence

Sparseness of writing

Beautifully complements

Power of emotions to be described

With sights and sounds

To unfold with slow

Deliberate eloquence

Artistic

Triumph

Like a heartbeat

Was the deafening...

Bimbo sails a boat and bumps into Betty Boop,
she flaunts her flashy flesh landing on the fresh Isle,
hostile trees harass the two harbingers as they fear,
sickly savages come to scare them away in style.

Betty’s black and white films from the bopping thirties,
aroused critics during the...

The old Victorian toys in good condition are terrifiC
And collecting rare stamps or cards is very colourfuL

A classic that I love is Gone With The Wind,
     the sweeping historical epic,
full of romance and facts of history.
It tells the story of the southern belle, Scarlet,
daughter of a cotton plantation owner, 
  Oh, the tangled love affairs she...

Imitation of Classics
There is the only one salvation –
to keep to the established order.
We have to get a new creation,
to take it we don’t cross fixed border.

You born to follow old tradition
of all those fallen in the battle,
One can’t avoid forced imitation,
No one can’t guard you from...

Vignette-Charles Dicken's Classics
There was a great English novelist I truly admired since my vibrant youth,
and his name was Charles Dickens; and his classics I read and revered.
He wrote many memorable novels, and one of them, filled with truth,  
was: "A CHRISTMAS CAROL", which he splendidly narrated...
as...

In 'Sound of Music', a time-honored film,
Maria, postulant from Abby near,
was hired, by a Captain widower,
as governess for seven children home.

The children then bereft and motherless
and governed by time-saving frenzied rules
which father, Georg von Trapp strictly enforced,
were placed into Maria's gentle hands;

Her service...

Classics
A moment never fades or is far behind. 
An ex of yesterdays playback in reverse.  
When the feelings hit, they'll knock you down. 
You allow it and take the fall. 
Relentless jabs of the past followed by an uppercut of a sealed memory. 
The...

American Classics Poem

 

Integration is a big thing these days

Freedom buses with foreign strays

Outside representatives were they

Who wanted to take our freedom away.

 

Good old John Bircher's radicals by far

Will cover others with feathers and tar

Then there is the aristocratic DAR

Still trying to fight the...

Being a lover of the classics
my show would be classically true
all the great composers would play
to lift listeners hearts that I would do

Raise the profile of young and new
these future prospects would perform
grabbing hold of today's audience
showing that this music is the norm

From dawn to...

A Queen went all the way ahead
an fed with her vibe all around as med;
sorrowed, for the throne was yet to be kept,
for all were starving hunger and wept;
for what once was theirs now melt.

By war and thunder their sons kinder,
fathers wept many years they...

Some melodies reach down and touch our soul
Like the classics, melodies flow like a tumbling waterfall
Moved by the magic
Of a love thematic
It surely transcends the sweetest emotions of all...

Classics Buff
Someone is probably doing an aria, 
that labored shrill fit for the opera.

Another soul croons a lilting lullaby,
oohs and aahs rising up to the sky.

Undoubtedly that's a loud trombone,
solidly played, a no-nonsense boom.

Surely I hear a lone trumpet blowing,
pfffttt, that unmistakable errie sound.

A lush symphony...
