Classics Poems

Bistro Boheme - a French poetry band that sets old classics into song

How does it sound when Rimbaud rocks and Baudelaire has got the Blues? 
When Verlaine vibes to the beat and Apollinaire to arpeggios?
Bistro Bohème tries to answer these questions!
We are a French poetry band, all living together in the same Berlin flatshare. 

Please check us out on Spotify or YouTube :)

Love,
Bistro Bohème

Autumnal Classics

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 
a light scented oil of " Je ne sais quoi "

Ages of Acclaim

I plan to discover more works of the great masters,
Like the rich green meadow find of bright red asters!
That is my New Year's resolution, a pledge to myself-
To enjoy and benefit from history's vast store of wealth;
And the glories of yesteryear lie waiting upon the shelf.

To Be Like Eliot

My faithful quill recumbent
Motionless
Stark against the virgin parchment posed upon my desk
The peeping moon breaks through grimy windows
Mocking me as the mantel clock chimes the cheerless Midnight
Another day laid to waste
The poet’s canvas unblemished
Harmonizing with his imagination

My eyes, cast red with weariness, avoid the empty scroll
Wandering, they fall upon an oak case
Lined with leather-bound treasures
Names

The Classics

Was into the classics in my younger years
Some compositions actually brought me to tears
Mozart and Beethoven
Their magic was calming
Much preferred to today's music in my ears

The Classics

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

Where Have All the Classics Gone

We all once read the same great books in school
Shakespeare, Dickens, Samuel Clemens, Hemingway
Each one a classic, thought to be a jewel --
With plots and themes still relevant today
A widespread range of characters portrayed -- 

But now these treasures, written by white men
Are labelled racist and misogynist... Amen.

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 ages of antique movies,
she came alive clearly in the sixties

''Colorize the Classics''

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 had,
her secret lover Ashley and the dashing Rhett.
  Breathtaking

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 to the Lord made her a saint,
and with her gentleness,

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 left,

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 Civil Wah.

 

Harry Goldwater with pomp and charm

Quickly throwing up

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 final blow strikes the chest, enough for the concussion of

Classics

Charm hurls fond say,
Lines of clear fact;
Attend the way,
Soul knows sure tact;
Sense fragrant feel,
Indulge the heart;
Calm poise appeals,
See precious art.
Surreal yet strange,
Choice sparks bold route;
Richness gains range,
Ideas reach out;
Plot and play prime,
Truth dwells in time.
