It Was Just Another Ordinary Day

It was just another ordinary day
Scattered notes are all over the place
Drums trying to maintain a certain beat
Guitars either strumming or singing 

Violins studying their scales and arpeggios
The piano pouring out its player’s soul 
Clarinets and flutes blowing out harmonies
A mesmerizing vocal cuts through

A white butterfly flutters freely
Basking in the building’s flowing melodies
Students rushing in and out of the cafeteria
Sheet music in their hands while eating

Leaves of variant colors fall from the trees
The wind blows in one direction
Compensating for the scorching hot sun
Taking turns as nature takes its usual course

Old friends reconcile and greet each other
Re-living past memories and narrating the present
Speaking of profound concepts within their discourse
Anyone overhearing may be left confused

It was just another ordinary day
Scattered notes are all over the place
Many things happening all at once
Yet the resonant music remained unnerved


A Nyxian Symphony

A Nyxian Symphony

The sun sets
My eyes close as night grows
Thoughts and dreams are lost
A soft melody starts with the twinkling of the first star
Oboes and clarinets are far in the distance
Yet their sounds echo through the rustling leaves
The soft strumming of a wooden guitar comes with the evening breeze
The drums rhythmic beat travel up from the aging cobblestone streets
The forests give the air the voice to sing haunting melodies
Nyx gave this mortal her blessing with her mystical symphony
Bringing a peace and a hope to the darkness of night
Her music will live on as long as the sun sets and the moon rises
Her music will play as long as there is someone to listen
Yet no one will praise her
No one will know her name
They will just know her music and that will be enough

Premium Member Heidel's Marching Band

Little Heidel clapped her hands
                      As she heard the marching bands
                      Monkeys came who were leading
                         With their funny tails beating
                          Colorful and cheerful drums
                          Ratta-tat and Rummy-tums
              
                    Next up came some marching tunes
                          clarinets played by baboons
                        Elephants marched next in line
                        Blowing horns, they did just fine
                         Heidel watched in joy at those
                      Now came cats, bells on their toes!

                        Heidel's papa jumped for joy 
                          Up next came a little boy
                             Playing fiddle joyfully
                      Heidel laughed for she could see
                         Brother Petra winked an eye
                      As the marching band passed by

                       Heidel's dream was so much fun
                          But her nap was finally done
                       Wiping way' sleep from her eyes
                     What she did next was no surprise!
                            Opening her pink toy box
                     Found her monkeys made from socks

                         Happy laughter followed soon
                          Heidel found her toy baboon
                          Stuffed elephants, a toy cat
                            She made them march,
                                   just like that
                           Heidel's papa came to see
                         Petra's fiddle joined with glee
                
                             Everybody shared a smile
                           Their joy lasted quite awhile
                          Heidel's toys were oh so grand
                           Such a happy marching band!
                       Heidel made her dream come true
                           Now her story's told to you!
                   
           
                                      Just for fun!
                      Dedicated to Grammy's sweet angels
                            My children and grandkids 
                          Make your dreams come true! 
                                            <3

Premium Member Strike Up the Band!

Proud parents gathered for the fifth grade band presentation.
The kids labored long and hard to enhance their musical education.
'Twas the band's first concert since its recent organization.
The harried teacher approached it with a sense of trepidation!

Moms and dads endured the commotion at home for many weeks,
As their blossoming prodigies practiced and honed their techniques.
Suffering through the blare of trumpets, the bleat of saxaphones,
The wail of clarinets and oboes, the atonal pitch of trombones!

The girls were dressed in white blouses and black, slinky skirts.
Boys wore dark trousers, black bow ties and snow-white shirts.
Each of the girls had a pretty ribbon adorning her hair.
Boys had even combed their hair - which was very rare!

Teacher apprehensively grasped her baton and waved the downbeat.
The program began with a simple rendition of "Bonaparte's Retreat."
At the end of the concert a heartwarming thing occurred.
The audience rose exclaiming, "Twas the sweetest music ever heard!"

Though at times they were not in tune and the tempo somewhat slow,
They proudly gave it their best and put on a wonderful show!
Was a spark in a child's soul that night fanned into a flame,
Boosting his or her enthusiasm to strive for musical acclaim?

Guesser

ibanez, ibanez, ibanez to make her dance
french horns to tones of a bassey groove
the bassoons move the volumed effords
coupled with the flutes: the clarinets often are envious
we rather not fuss
we are smart enough to compromise
cornets and trumets the sounds of muted streams
you know what I mean, ya'll know what I mean
smooth groovey sounds, make us wanna move our thangs
aint knowthing wrong with whats
going on
I like it when the bassey grooves
are coupled with the strings.
Ibanez to make her dance
got me in a mood
sweet simple sounds
fesh like showered perfumes
aint no way we messing up on
this groovey tune
ibanez to make her dance
played softly in the tune
grainger Sterling Squeir Phatt groovey tunes.


Purple Cat's Cataphony

A butterflied eye
blinking stars do shine 
on every beating wing
as birds softly sing
to silver maned unicorns dancing in a ring 
of dragons snapping webs of woven silk
In a swirl of clouds made of milk
a towering blue filled sky 
high diving wheels do fly
on a hundred tuxedoed marching bears
humming out sweet honeyed airs
a hammering anvil octopus with tentacles uproarious
playing a melancholy song
on harps long gone
to sea depths of whales
clicking tongues with their tails 
while dolphins do a trick to a metronomic tick.
Purple waves a thousand string bows
as I pull out a petrol coloured rose
from everybody's nose
children burst out a laughing bubble
on a policeman turning into a clown
frozen stiff with a frown
a bassoon the size of an elephant bellowing out such eloquence
with oboes and clarinets that slither and snake their way
blowing bugles into bubblets parping out little trumpelets
and saxophones rippling out dancing skeletones 
that shatter cymbals and kettle drums into smithereens
blue tongued lizards fingering their zithers
And last but not least a thousand nimble mice who play piccolos on ice
The performance now takes on a darker tone. Is that a flash of lightning?
Do ominous clouds roll in across the sky? 
A belated troop of grinning baboons
Sawing double basses
gnashing teeth and pulling faces
As I wave my wand to whistle forth a dark cloaked demon
from an infernal region
to hit grand piano keys bringing the crowd to their knees
blackened sulphuric fingers spread
Inspiring some unholy dread
as cloven hoof beasts clamour
and witches dance enamoured by yer fiery guest 
who draws out hell at yer own behest
Purple Cat rings a bell and the whole artifice fell.

Premium Member Before the Concert

A cacophony of sounds, all jumbled together
   Random notes, dissonance everywhere

Violin bows saw the air lazily, effortlessly
   Then furiously, chins pressed hard to instruments

Flautists' lips wistfully poised above the holes
   In a flash, diving deep into spritely melodies
 
Trombonists' brass bars sliding outward, then back inward
   Deep tones scale upward, peak, descend again 

Trumpeters' cheeks bulge outward, double-chins aflame
   Beet-red faces, fingers marching, horns tootling

Cymbals clang and clash!  Drums beat and boom!
   Clarinets clamor... A cello... An oboe... The conductor's in slow-mo.

All this, prelude to a performance quite grand
   To the concert forthcoming -- Strike up the band!

Premium Member Oh Captcha Squares

Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
What are these objects in your frames?
Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
Why must they gotta be the same?

    Cars and busses, traffic lights
    Bicycles and motor bikes
    Crosswalks, signs, and steps and stairs
    Fire hydrants everywhere        

    Boats, planes and parking meters 
    Tickets, fines, misdemeanors
    Why are you so fond of these?
    Why are palms the only trees? 

Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
The pictures trapped inside of there
Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
Depict a world so bleak and bare

   Arid, bland, unaesthetic
   Barren, drab, unpoetic
   Sterile, cold, antiseptic
   Unconcerned, apathetic 
   
   Somber, sad, and desolate 
   Woeful, bland, pedestrian
   Weary, grim, dreary, hopeless
   Grainy, gray, out of focus 
 

It doesn’t need to be this way…

Many things could fill your squares
Why not fill these things in there?

   Tambourines and castanets 
   Bass trombones and clarinets
   English horns and piccolos
   Harpsichords and xylophones

   Fiddles high and Irish whistles
   Jingle bells and finger cymbals
   5-string banjos, mandolins
   Saxophones, accordions

   Desmond Tutu and Mandela
   Cassius Clay, Cinderella
   Charlemagne and Genghis Kahn
   George and Ringo, Paul, and John 

   Twain and Edgar Allan Poe
   Wayne and Brando and Monroe
   Ida Wells, Frida Kahlo
   Steinem, Parks, and Ferraro

   River Thames and stormy seas
   Winter wrens and bumble bees
   Cyprus, ash, oak, fir, and pine
   Sassafras, willow, and lime

   Daffodils and magnolias
   Marigolds and begonias
   Cabbage, beets, and potatoes
   Carrots, beans, and tomatoes

Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
If your pictures must remain
Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
How aboutcha change the frames?

   Captcha circles, captcha suns
   All the captcha olygons
   Wiggly captcha twiggly lines
   Twisty captcha twiny vines 
  
   Captcha diamonds, captcha hearts
   Captcha clovers, moons, and stars
   Captcha ribbons, Captcha lace
   Captcha colored string bouquets

Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
We understand you're here to stay.
Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
Just be more creative, OK?

To Harmonize Within This Dream

To harmonize within this dream

A brazen dance of cornered screams
Along a wafting, winding lane
Where melodies in concert themes
Are more than any can explain

I wander by this sad request
In minor chords and broken strings
As clarinets don’t pass the test
Among so many other things

When from the shadows comes a tune
On paisley painted violin
Now echoes from a crescent moon
Where cellos find a chance to win

My feet they move a city mile
Across the square where banners fly
And I cannot contain my smile 
While rusted church bells sanctify

The streets of rice once thrown in doubt
Form petals on the cobbled ground
Where children run and parents shout
Attempts at drowning out the sound

But I, now charmed and held at bay
Sing loudly over hill and stream
As here my voice shall find its way 
To harmonize within this dream

Just a bit of nonsense
fun

Premium Member In Defense of Saxophones in Rock

I've got the lecture notes ready
I've got the examples 

Just blow what I'm telling you to blow
I am responsible for the resurgence of the sales of saxophones 

I unlock the doors of my car
By raising my right palm

You saw the crescent
I saw sod all 

You need a guitar player
Bass and the whole caboodle

But don't stop there
Get yourself some 

Man clarinets
And ear trumpets

In fact
Sack the band and 

Just have a sax on stage
And horn away

Nostril reeds and
Ostentatious bellowing 

I'll be your mouthpiece
I'll pretend to be from L.A.
