Best Hi Fi Poems

It was many years ago that I sat there on the floor
With Aunt Allie and my cousins, we knew what was in store.
The clan was gathered there around the Christmas tree
Just eagerly awaiting their Christmas gifts to see.

There was Billy Joe and Grady Earl and...

Serenade Me, Julius La Rosa

His striped tie has a green tint color 
And his hands are dark and bulging with blood. 
I can see them gripping the steering wheel like parrot talons. 
I can see from all the way up here 
That one of his...

UNTITLED

A jug of wine
Pack of smokes
And Hector Berlioz on the hi-fi

Oh the vibrations
Broken rhythms
The now in perfect oblivion

Imagination in isolation
Smoke thick enough
To cloud the eyes      to choke

Sips of wine revive
And elicit after a spell
Go to hell!

With this attitude
Words are thrown...

~There Was a Time~

There was a time when I would look
out over the azure glory of a Michigan lake,
or tear up from the umber-brown beauty
of Grand Canyon in the Arizona sun.

There was a time when I smelled
the fragrance of fresh baked bread
when east winds blessed...

there was a proud resident
who gave her neighbours
a torrid time because she
was well-connected and big

an apologist and a menace
she was a law unto herself 
none could tell her to reduce
the noise her hi-fi produced

from her children to her pets
--all did as they pleased –
her licentious...

Syrupy with recipe ran along brasseries 
Peiping, Mags and Oasis pricey rotisseries
Sizzling sizzlers the Peter Cat’s clamor 
Addled couples fending their pockets out of scarce. 

Boogie with deejays rhythm along discos
Tantra, Fusion and Roxy surfaced floorshows
Mass hangout the Some Place Else’s beckon
Mini-fashioned getups makes the...

Smart phone - we groan without this digital backbone 

Laptop - work from home nonstop

Wi-Fi - faster internet connectivity to live hi-fi

5G - advanced communication technology

GPS location - reach any destination

Artificial intelligence - computer brain takes precedence

Zoom - conduct a worldwide meeting from your room

It's such a great thrill being down in our house;
There isn't a chance of being quiet as a mouse:
With guitars and tellies and hi-fi and things;
Never-ending noise, then the telephone rings.

"It's my call". "No it's not, It's for me scream the choir."
They're all trying at...

Yoga way of Life in ancient times
Got lost in modern materialistic times

Way of harmonising mind-body-spirit
Combination of breathing rhythm, postures, meditation, diet

Offers preventive, therapeutic, psychic cures 
Not just an exercise, divine path for merging with universe  

Age no bar, easy to practise any time
Simple mat,...

When it comes to modern technology
The word “bozo” suits me to a “T”
I quiver and shake and tremble all over
When my computer asks questions of me!

Think to myself “If you're so damn smart
Why are you asking this old guy?
I'm back in the days of peck-peck-peck
On...

Oh, the emptiness you leave behind -
Love is a noon-bright meadow stripped of its green,
Whose birds forget their songs: Or am I tone deaf now?
The melodies in Mahler Symphonies are monotone,
Only rhythm there suggests that Love is palpable,
A pulsing heart whose syncopation loses beat
As torrents...

Am I the doormat you wipe your shoes on?
Or the cup you drink coffee from?
Would it better if I were a cigarette between your fingers,
so you crush me when desired, 
or, light me up so I know the fire and turn,
into ashes and to earth,
and...

Announcement

	"State the fact," he tells the board, "announce mid-
	morning without warning, too late then to
	retaliate. Say, 'Times change, so on your
	way, redundancy accompanies age.'"

	Walks easy through his fortress-grounds of trip-
	alarms and snarling hounds. Youthful bride is
	safely sealed from vengeful pawn and bitter
	foe, and waits, consoled...

Dame Dogwood, butterfly-dressed
in white, flitters, fine hi-fi ~
Viewing such spring leitmotiv...
A hushed opera!
