Best Tubas Poems

"It happened at dusk, on the eve of my bed
a series of symphonies out of my head
Whistles and pattering, octaves outstretched
Violins wailing and tubas distressed
Starlight shone into my window in white
heaving my breath with this musical sight
leaving my features and shadows in grey
while the melody...

Natures bugle call to action 
Daffodils trumpeting springs arrival  
Bluebells sprout  from hidden tubas  
Spring is playing us its  symphony   

Battling banjos played on  sunny porches  
as the sun sets you can imagine a cello recital 
or...

The Wedding Ceremony of the Dead, Part One, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Les Noces de la Mort by T. Wignesan

Orgy of stone !
I drank hate in your inferior parts
And bathed during a wild summer our green sepulchres
O ! death
and my animal mouth became distorted
on those...

One man
Stands
Beneath his white helmet
And demands,

Silence.

Throughout Aleppo.

His stethoscope,
He attaches
To the dust
And listens
From his knees.

The man has
Ten fingers,
A dry brush
And a pair of pliers
To dig like an archeologist.

He does not have years,
But minutes
To search the ruins
For toes
That wiggle
Or mouths
That suckle
Or bleeding hearts
That still beat
Like tremors
In puddles...

We were there for th wind ensemble,
There was where I met you,
My senses traversed through
'          ` th geography of your body,

Then, th first song.

In th expanded moment,
Tubas transformed into windmills,
Trumpets moan and yearn,
My senses never left

Beachfront condos shrouded in the early mist 
of morning. Seagulls hanging on the breeze, 
their screeching waking sleepyheads 
before their coffee, it's July the 4th, 
the holiday is here! 

Sailboats daubed in milky opalescence 
growing clear, as sunlight nibbles at the sea wall. 
Artists set...

Cherry trees bare of blossoms
Buds still tight in the trees
A time of pure delight
For every eye to see,

A small flag in every hand
Fresh toasted nuts at every stand
Glee from each new sight
Every child oh, so happy,

Cane in hand
The leader starts the bands
Round each and every...

She struts out of the golden elevator
like the Grand Marshall of Macy’s Thanksgiving parade
Crystal high-heels rhythmically clicking
on the gleaming marble floor
Pompadour bouffant hair
that’s styled so platinum electric
Purple Persian silk dress
accentuated by a
diamond studded heart-shaped necklace
Sashay walking with such sexy flair ...
her haughty, ice-chiseled chin held...

Encore

Cold metal touches my lips
Breathe
Fingers extend
Breathe 
Chatter from the audience
Fills my ears
Breathe
Lights from above 
Blind me
Breathe
Baton
Moves up 
Breathe
Up 
Down
Breathe
Tempo
Dit-Dit-Dit
Breathe
Drums sneer at me
Breathe
An explosion 
Of sound 
Fills the ears
Breathe
A harmony
A symphony
Breathe
Tubas 
Low and booming
Breathe
Trombones and Trumpets
Extending each
Note with ethereal beauty
Breathe
Clarinets 
Blessing the note
With delicacy
Breathe
Flutes
An island of...

Cars need gas; food needs spices.
Technogeeks need new devices.

Dogs need leashes; letters: stamps.
Folks in wheelchairs need nice ramps.

Igloos wait for Eskimos.

Clarinets, bassoons, oboes, ugh.
Flutes, oh, yes, Native American flute music please.
Violas. Don’t be prissy!
Cellos. Ha. Ha. Who wants to carry one to school?
First and second violins. Too stringy. Twangy. Hurt my ears.
Trombones and tubas. Oh, yes, please.
Now for my all- time favorites besides the guitar.

Cymbals.
Bam.
Crash.

Enormous eggplants peppered her Easter hat.
They were a bit heavy, but purple and exact.
However did you find them, and what fun!
The old biddies said, when they saw her in the sun.

Why thank you, she said, pleased as all get out.
Her children had gone on, one...
