Glitz and Glitter
Watch as wedding guests arrive
With all the glitz and glitter
Paparazzi crave.
My friends decry the waste of wealth;
Can't they see the children there
Weeping tears of poverty?

Thrills and Glitz
"Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand"
Capture the change as time goes by,
Capture every moment the day sculpts,
Archive moments that gladden the heart,
Let those that sadden the heart fly away.
Relish in nature’s embrace.
Open the windows of your chamber,
Disperse the gloom that pervades,
Exhale the turbulence that permeates,
Walk in the newness the day brings,
Bask in nature’s bloom.
Treasure

Late-Summer Glitz and Glam
Written: August 10, 2023
______________________________________________________________
In the late summer's embrace, I find solace.
Bathing in the sun's warmth—nature's grace
The world apricates, as I do in kind,
A symbiotic peace, an eternal bind
Two silhouettes tested harsh jazz,
Waltzing in the field, casting a dazzling razzmatazz
In a corner stood, in an early red, earthy storm,
Whipping clouds, fluffy beds, curlicued form
A street

Children Conversation Glitz
Mirth-filled, children converse boisterously
Presenting their future jobs jovially
As the best and greatest, well-said pridefully
Midst innocence, sans ignorance of witty perspective cheerfully.
Child A: I’ll be an actor with varied roles distinctly
Ruling as president, then reigning as king honourably
And I can just command here and there constantly
Then if tired, I’ll call for my “double” instantly!
Child B:

Dont Glitz the Politics
How lovely the long dress,
expressive next to the suits.
I’m not a prude, but
I believe the news-crew
should properly be dressed.
Why should I be looking
at the ladies legs; the men
aren’t dangling theirs
by wearing shorts.
Be proper, pretty, handsome,
but build up
the story; don’t glitz
the politics.
What’s happened to decorum?
What’s happened, Miss Manners?
For some of the shows its okay,
but only if

Disney Syllabus
Disrupted rough sea ripples shuffle
audience anticipation
Shift in seats, hammered hearts
Pummel, fluffy microphone muffle
confines communication
To thespian garish starring parts
Leading lady stands on X central
scintillating stiff corset

Underneath Glamor and Glitz
Self-expression is dependent upon personality
We can only really be who we are deep inside,
Some folks by their nature defy conventionality.
There are folks who can set inner nature aside
And, with strong determination, choose to be
Whatever they want to be with enormous pride.
I am thinking, specifically, of people in comedy
Who are hurting deep inside, but never show

Composing Songs
Which key should I put this song in?
I sing in G Ionian/major comfortably,
Likewise the relative E Aeolian/minor scale.
Plus those guitar chords are easy as sin.
I could choose a scale that’s more exotic -
D Mixolydian has the same notes and chords.
Hungarian or Roumanian minor, Spanish Gypsy.
Or another scale derived from minor harmonic.
Keep it simple – let’s

Give Me a Glitz and Glamour
Give me a castle, scepter and crown.
Magical power such as the ability to fly,
Throw in world peace if you have extra time.
Gift me with enthusiasm, joy, and love.
A rhinestone tiara, pink feathered boa,
And a sexy, gorgeous body to die for.
Throw in unity for all nations if you want.
Give me a golden throne room

Glitz Ritz Splits Blitz Mitts
If you had a little glitz
You and I could do the splits,
In front of the Hotel Ritz
Did you just call me a ditz?
Come here and put up your mitts.
Do not care if Mom has fits.
Come and show me all your grits.
I will fight you with my wits.
Oh no, do not blame your blitz.
Up to you

The Glitz the Glamour the Frost
The whiteness is blue, and wet, and fluffy to the eye,
Even when it is not.
It brings hot sweet cocoa and warm mittens into the memory,
Twinkling with glitz, glamour, and frost,
Icicle magic, dazzling your eyes.
The air so cold, it brings tears to your face,
The whiteness is blue, faerie-magic-like, not here every day.
Snow falls daintily at first,

Sparkles
On the curtain
Add glorious room glitz
Maybe earthly glimpse of heaven
Beautiful, magnificent opulence,
Bringing much glamour to my guests
Tiny glittering orbs
Flashy sequins

Glitz
The whittled worries and fears shred my nerves like ants on glass, sparkling red. I notice and bow to the glitterati in their fine silks and cuts of cloth because they pay my wages; they care little for the red-cheeked fellow in the silly hat, whose spring step is more right-right than left-right. I’ve become

Kabitz About Glitz
"Trump has learned that he likes to kibitz,
About all of his glory along with great glitz
Even found complete chaos and disorder
Each time he went across the border."
