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...

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 "...

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....

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...

Premium Member 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...

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...

Colorize The Classics 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, for origin and root yet to be felt; a queen must...

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...

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. Leon Enriquez 08 September 2014 Singapore...
