Best Giacomo Poems
Her name was Madame Butterfly;
true love embraced her one fine day.
By sea, he came, neath bright, blue sky,
on Navy ship from far away.
Love, at first sight, it was for them,
this naval officer and his
sweet Geisha from Japan, a gem;
together found a lover's bliss.
His tour was done, and now goodbye
would break her heart, but he'd return...
he said...then left his Butterfly.
She watched him leave, with sad concern.
His son was born, and three years passed;
each day she looked out to the shore.
No sign of him, and she soon asked...
is he now gone, forevermore?
But, then one day, her love arrived!
The ship was there moored in the bay.
He had returned, with joy she cried,
oh, happy day...she knelt to pray.
At once, she saw a woman there...
and holding hands with her dear man,
the father of her son...unfair...
he, with a wife, came to Japan.
Her heart now broken; how life turned...
her true love found then lost, and yet
returned to her...but she has learned
he's lost forever...such regret.
Her honor lost, her life is done.
She hugs her son and says goodbye.
Behind the screen, neath morning sun...
with dagger high...poor Butterfly.

Story from "Madame Butterfly" - an opera composed by Giacomo Puccini
Walls breathe insistent hunger,
red as the inside of a split pomegranate,
richer still where the tallow has melted,
slick as the fat from a burnt offering.
Scarpia does not eat.
He savors—sounds of gristle
snapping in the next room—
—low, wet gasps—
body writhing beneath unseen hands,
a melody of muscle breaking.
Tosca stands, spine locked,
as he drinks from a goblet brimming with the color
of a mouth left too long in the sun.
He watches her throat move,
slow, careful, like a deer
scenting iron in the air.
A scream glissandos through the walls.
Scarpia wipes his lips.
His fingers, thick as butcher’s twine,
gesture toward the door—
an invitation, a demand—
a sermon delivered without breath.
Tosca does not kneel.
Not yet.
But the feast has begun,
and the host holds the fermata.
(note: this poem was inspired by a scene from the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini)
He was born in Genoa,
and his mother was Susanna;
and he set sail at the age of fourteen,
to begin a new exploration age!
His father Domenico
gave him inspiration and courage...
while his three brothers: Giacomo,
Bartolomeo and Giovanni ventured with him
on his long and dangerous voyages,
and accused of many atrocities...
they were sent back to Spain in chains!
A visionary with an extraordinary man's ego,
followed in the footsteps of Marco Polo...
and in his final days, he died a disappointed man!
DYING AGAIN
Or
GIACOMO DA LENTINI’S DEBACLE**
I died yesterday.
Again.
. . . not the horrific
death of years before,
but the soft soul-shatter
of yesterday’s fantasy.
I never survived
the bloodied murders
of my last psyche deaths.
Dying, I only lived.
I only lived, painfully.
But this time,
A new state, a new life,
has eerily absorbed me.
Fritz Crytzer
** Giancomo Da Lentini, a famous Italian poet, invented the form, “sonnet” in Medieval Italy, in the 13th century. Although this poem does have 14 lines, it does not reflect the structures that contrive a “sonnet”. It is indeed, a debacle!
Briana it's so hard to think, you were so young.
Grown up, a young lady now, where has the time gone?
Your Success, allowed you to fly around the world.
So beautiful and smart, an Executive girl.
Climbing up the ladder you met all your goals, Yes!
You're at the top one percent, you're one of the best!
A humble person you are, you would never brag.
So forgive me for sharing your life, enough said.
Today is your birthday, the first day of Winter.
We send Feliz Cumpleanos, Wishing for her.
First, Judy, Rusty the Kitty, Tavi G, Gaston, Ashley, Taylor, Jordan and I sing.
Happy, Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy birthday Dear Briana.
Happy birthday to you!
May all your wishes come true.
Succeed, in all you do,
and may the Good Lord keep blessing You.
Happy Birthday Dearest Briana.
From all of us who love you.

Spanish Phrase

In the heart of the Tuscany under Italy's sun
Lies the town of Lucca, which is known to some
As Giacomo Puccini's birthplace, and the truth to be told,
He's Italian composer, one of the best in the world.
In the times of Medieval - far back in the past
Thrived the banking in Lucca and the art of silk craft ...
....
The legend has that at those times and in this very city
Lucia Manco lived so gorgeous, vane and pretty.
Though cunning Satan made her splendid stunning beauty last
On the condition that she must her lovers souls to Devil pass.
... For quite a while this deal worked really well
- Men souls were going from her bed straight to the Hell.
For quite long time she never fell in love, we trust
- Her drive was simply egotistic vanity and crave for lust.
But even magic comes to undeterred sudden end
- She met young man, to whom she loving heart of hers has lent.
She would not dare to corrupt his holesom soul,
And lost her beauty just at once forever and for all.
He lost his love to her at instance when she lost her femine charms .
But to the worst, the Devil told him that he held his mother in his arms!

Abstract
In the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with recurrent acute episodes of respiratory crises, autonomic symptoms and total insomnia (agrypnia), we identified a novel anti-neural complement fixing antibody directed against GABA(B) receptor (GABA(B)R). Patient purified IgG recognized a band of approximately 110 kDa on protein extracts of mouse cerebellum, cortex and brainstem and immunolabelled cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, transfected with human GABA(B)R1 and rat GABA(B)R2 receptors. Western blot analysis of transfected CHO homogenates showed the same band using both patient purified IgG and anti-GABA(B)R1 antibody. In order to verify the pathogenic role of these purified antibodies, we injected patient IgG intrathecally into cisterna magna of C57BL/6 mice pre-implanted with EEG electrodes and we observed severe ataxia followed by breathing depression and total suppression of slow wave sleep, as evidenced by EEG recording, in a dose-dependent manner. Immunohistochemistry on brain sections of mice injected with patient IgG showed the simultaneous presence of bound human IgG and C5b-9 deposits on Purkinje cells and cerebellar granular layer. After incubation with anti-GABA(B)R antibody, a marked reduction of receptor immunostaining was found with relative sparing of neuronal architecture. In conclusion we recognized an anti-neuronal autoantibody directed against GABA(B)R that is associated with autoimmune agrypnia and we showed that our patient purified IgG was able to induce in mice experimental autoimmune agrypnia characterized by a complex neurological syndrome affecting several CNS functions.

The most easily seen during a total solar eclipse,
But it is also observable with a coronagraph.
Spectroscopy measurements indicate
Strong ionization in the corona state
And a plasma temperature in excess of kelvin,
Much hotter than the surface of the Sun.
This is not the Corona from thy Earth
But a stellar Corona that is in mirth
None can control this for sure
As it has power infinite pure 5.
Corona standing for Crown
Has a kingly gesture proven
A space jargon with mystery
Has a super duper history
Discovered a few centuries ago
Where all were like a new amigo
The astrophysics started rising
Like a phoenix perfect uprising
Where there is a will, there is a way
While the Corona shines, let’s make hay. 6.
In 1724, French-Italian astronomer
Giacomo F. Maraldi recognized sure
That the aura visible during a solar eclipse
(Eclipse=Just like our mathematical ellipsis)
Belongs to the Sun and not to the Moon.
Spanish astronomer in 1809 soon
José Joaquín de Ferrer
Coined the term 'corona' cooler
Has a million dollar use to maintain
Solar equilibrium and sustain 7.
(The Sun’s corona is the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun's surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be viewed during a total solar eclipse.)
The Hip Jazz Cat/Tony Adamo
Step up, Man, get up, let me hip you to this/ a jazz cat who weaves words and sings/ People, It’s Giacomo Gates/
He’s the master of vocalese a hipster’s delight/ A storyteller with echoes of Buckley and Mark Murphey’s wise vocal flair/
his voice dances on stages as if floating on air/ Eddie Jefferson’s charm and Jon Hendricks’ grace/ when he opens up to sing/this jazz cat is full of swing/
captivating the crowd he swings a groove spell/ entertaining the masses in jazz clubs that know him well/
He’s amusing and musical/ a hipster so rare/Bebop is in his veins, Man, Giacomo Gates is out of the world and the next one too/ “Where did this cat come from?” Savant Records only knows/
with Bird’s solos beneath him and Giacomo’s melodic variation on words/ turning notes into scatting stories/ Gates be cookin’ the most/ so get hip to it and raise your hands high/ the Gospel of jazz will never die/ dig his jazz scene and let his lyrical journey make you high/ In a world full of noise/ Giacomo Gates is the voice you need, the hipster jazz cat who is somethin’ else, you’ll see, you’ll believe!

Fazer negócios
é um ato de amor
— escrevi um dia.
Há duas maneiras de fazer negócios,
como há duas maneiras de deixar de fazer.
Negócios podem ser feitos
como se fosse com outra pessoa
ou como se fosse com você.
O primeiro é aquele modo da pessoa
dizem prática
o segundo modo,
daquela que dizem artista.
Um e outro também divergem
no modo de não ver as coisas.
Pessoas práticas
Só enxergam uma flor
se a puser na lapela
ou mesmo num jarro;
como um pássaro só lhe é real
se o tiver numa gaiola ou o comer frito.
Fazer negócios
é um ato de amor:
a relação com o mundo
se funda na sensibilidade,
que diz ao pintor
que tal vermelho ou rosa
estão certos na composição de um quadro
como diz ao
Negócio com Amor
que tal ou qual
é o melhor.
Faça Negócios
com poesias
e amor!

O que o consumidor quer
A economia da experiência comprova:
Fazer negócios
é um ato de amor.
Antes, a questão era descobrir se
o consumidor precisava consumir.
Agora, ao contrário,
é saber qual experiência
o consumidor quer viver.
Êxito no trabalho
Não é a argumentação,
mas o saber argumentar,
que é o segredo do êxito no trabalho.
E saber trabalhar quer dizer:
não fazer um esforço inútil,
persistir no esforço até ao fim,
e saber reconstruir uma argumentação
quando se verificou que ela era,
ou se tornou errada.
Linha da vida
A vida,
Ou os negócios
que parece uma linha reta, não o é.
Construímos a nossa vida
Ou os negócios
alguns poucos por cento,
o resto é feito pelas outras pessoas.
Seja qual for a percentagem,
Cinco, dez ou mais e menos
será sempre
o resultado da sinceridade
e da autenticidade
consigo mesma.
