Premium Member Melodies Linger

As a melody  linger in her mind
       She holds her violin closely
 As musical notes in black and white are defined

 Soon, her violin buzzes with "Flight of The Bumblebee"
 Her bow swift and bold, her smile coy
As she holds her violin closely

 After that flight, a rendition of "Ode To Joy'
 As her violin speaks to symphonies divine
 Her bow swift and bold,  her smile coy

 Her violin exhales Beethoven's Sonata Number Nine
 As she  inhales the melodic flow
 Her violin speaks to symphonies divine
 
 While she deftly strokes her bow
 She plays the classics great composers wrote
 As she inhales the melodic flow
 
 She sees the color of each musical note
 As a melody lingers in her mind
 She plays the classics great composers wrote
  As  notes in black and white are defined

The Music of You

What music are you
What notes do you do
What songs will ensue
What words make it true

Are you Jazz
Full of pizazz
Are you Rock
Played up the block

Maybe Classical
Elegant and beautiful
Or maybe Pop
At the chart top

Perhaps you're Country
With music so sunny
Or maybe even Punk
With all of its *****

Maybe you're Disco
From San Franscisco
Or are you Funk
Not at all like Punk

Whether Jazz or Punk
Disco or Funk
Country or Rock
Or Classics like Bach

You can always be you
When the music is true
So be true to your part
And listen to your heart

For the music you are
Is, for both near and far,
The thing that's most true
For the who that is you

Premium Member Haiku Moment 26

Zen showroom
Stillness speaks;
Teak wood designs

~~~~~~~~~


Words surge free
Creative impulse;
Vivid visions

~~~~~~~~~


Profound stillness
Calm silence charms;
Welcome rest

~~~~~~~~~


Late evening rain
Wet windowpane;
Chilly shivers

~~~~~~~~~


Moon glow mist
Black skyline spread;
No stars tonight

~~~~~~~~~


China ascending
Proud 'pax chinesis' hovers;
Flexing taut muscles

~~~~~~~~~


Small city state island
Singapore sling;
Little Red-Dot

~~~~~~~~~


If you must ask
I cannot tell;
Voice in the wind

~~~~~~~~~


Miniature books
Heavy on wisdom;
Light weight powers

~~~~~~~~~


She said
We said;
Much left unsaid

~~~~~~~~~


Musical montage
Familiar classics;
Late mother's memory

~~~~~~~~~


Coming and going
Sweet sad smiles;
Corridor strides

~~~~~~~~~


Last blessing here
Heart-to-heart talk;
A farewell moment

~~~~~~~~~


How do you say
Goodbye then;
Stay in my heart

~~~~~~~~~


Words buzz around
Collage in montage;
Unforgettable echoes

~~~~~~~~~


Joy and tears mix
Pain tangles cheer;
Fond memories swirl

~~~~~~~~~


Briefly, lightly...
A farewell whisper;
No birds sing

~~~~~~~~~


Bitter pain lingers
Pieces of broken heart;
Morning rainbow comfort

~~~~~~~~~


Journey journal
Heart-felt deposits;
Exquisite feelings lounge

~~~~~~~~~


Thus far now:
Seize this daze;
Craft fond memoirs

~~~~~~~~~


Sweet spot here
Free trade zone;
Buzzy business leaps

~~~~~~~~~


Live well then
You know not when;
Death harvests soul

~~~~~~~~~


Gratitude bows
Chant a mantra;
Heart knows soul

~~~~~~~~~

Gallic Garlic Gall of Gaul


Hands clench stuck in a culinary trench with no French

Devotion can’t bench sensory commotion a saucy wench

Emotions wrench if no whiff on the breeze of cheese stench 

Potions & notions quench..ocean lotions tastebuds drench

For a foodie bouillebaisse with timeless grace like Judi Dench


No dodgy Brigitte Bardot politics or slick card tricks of tarot

Go for Gallic garlic gall.. all will enthrall when in Gaul..Escargot

Choir of desire ce soir more beurre.. pot au feu.. boudin noir 

The star steak au poivre or oeuvre as they make fresh tartare


Mussel frites hustle.. boozy bustle.. shellfish tussle of a bistro

Cassoulet with pomme puree then creme brulee classics spar    

Foie gras a mardi gras or bizarre faux pas in brasserie bazaar

Pastry crew Michelin route could be choux or tasty en croute 

Never hasty flavour douche a louche croquembouche maestro 
 

Pouting fondue goo spouting fountains on mountains outing

Creamy tartiflette or steamy andouillette from piggy toilette 

Forget Pret get a better baguette cornichons raclette touting    

What’s more francois then petit pois or dreamy dauphinoise

Carbs shouting.. barbs flouting.. baked camembert scouting

No doubting dishes with calories sprouting diets are a routing


For some it’s foodie hell for me Heaven..my true blue belle 

Fruit de Mer in that terracotta apparel has me over a barrel

Travel under the spell crustaceans relations you fell.. unravel     

Shell fish fresh from saline swell my divine dell in La Rochelle


No askance glance at the chance for your palette to dance

In a trance at how they enchant stuff always buff & enhance

Know in advance their cultural stance.. revolution..the lance

Saw red aristocrats dead off with their head no longer prance 

Instead perchance adored smorgasbord hoard vive la France

Premium Member Over the Moon

Hey diddle diddle
I don’t play the fiddle
But I do love to tinkle the keys
I play them with ease
Will you sing along, please?
The classics or a hip hop rock tune
But don’t get me wrong
My kids strum along
And the vibrations will shake up a room
The guys in my house
Shut their ears to my Strauss
While guitars knock the socks off the gloom
One plays the drums, the whole neighborhood hums
Though it might bring the cops on the run
Our little dog laughs
To hear such a blast
As our tunes travel over the moon

Premium Member Frederic Chopin

Love soft music on a warm summer's night
A Piano Sonata by that Chopin dude
Nothing can turn my crank more than Fredéric
Sure puts this guy in a romantic mood

Surprised with my knowledge of the classics?
Fred and I go a very long way back
Grew up together, he was my very first buddy
Actually stole my sweet girlie, fancy that

Helped him write some mazurkas and études
Never gave me credit, whatta bum
Attempted to expose him but no one listened
Of course no one listened, that's dumb

Whatta big snot, this so called music genius
Thought the world revolved around him
Got some news, this is going to shatter his image
He was nothing but a country bumpkin

I know, I know, that's not well known fact
He paid people to keep it hush hush
So now you all know the rest of this story
Old Freddie turned out to be a lush

Sorry bout this, all you fans of the classics
This was all just in fun I declare
Was never a good friend of old Freddie boy
Still maintain, I never got my share

I Hope the Rain Never Stops

watching movies with you
i hope the rain never stops
surprised we haven't fallen asleep yet
guess we are where we wanna be
we make chocolate chip cookies
we make cinnamon rolls
we make sugar cookies
we make vanilla and oreo shakes
we put in another movie
we pass gas in the name of comfort

watching movies with you
i hope the rain never stops
now we resort to the classics
for once time is being kind to us by discovering its inner snail
we make cake squares
we make lemon drop cookies
we make rice krispies treats
we make vanilla and butterscotch pudding
we put in yet another movie
we again pass gas in the name of comfort

Premium Member Classics Dawn To Dusk

Being a lover of the classics
my show would be classically true
all the great composers would play
to lift listeners hearts that I would do

Raise the profile of young and new
these future prospects would perform
grabbing hold of today's audience
showing that this music is the norm

From dawn to dusk on the air
interviewing real classical talent
Mutter, Benedetti, Bocelli, Netrebko
just a few to get classical pulses sent

So that would be my show
loving every minute of it all
to bring pleasure to the many
music at it's height supremely tall

AUTHOR NOTES:
Just some thoughts if I had the opportunity to have my own radio show 
and what I would want it to be.

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, she shaped their lives.
Through love of music, led them with their songs
with joy for life that they had never known.

They fell in love with her, and soon her world
had opened up another way to serve.
In love and bonded with them and their dad,
she came to follow a new road in life.

As loving wife and mother, she gave self
upon another path of faithfulness.
She served the Lord and life, together with
the rescue of a family once lost.
