This is a humours attempt towards the show, So you think you can dance. I do
quite like the show and just wrote something that tried to show different angles of
genres of dance and the difference between, getting in over not getting in. Hope
you enjoy, let me know what you think :-)
So You Think You Can Dance, Hey?
If my talent was the samba and
I had a sexy partner.
His shirt, would be seductively
Unbuttoned.
No nerves for us while stretching
Before, four judges
Watch eager
Nevertheless, with enforcing eyes.
Our song pumps out of the over-used
Speakers, our hips
Sway together
In time and imitating
A bond.
Telling a story.
Backstage the host asks
"Is it enough"
And so a silent prayer
Our dream
To come true.
"It has been 7 month's since I started Ballet classes and I believe I'm ready"
Pivot and turn gracefully
I do, with my hearts
Content.
Extending my arms and legs
I show heart
Softness.
Lacking in experience leaves me
No option
Must work harder.
Come back next year.
If me, was only
To hip hop and pop and lock
Showing I can
hit that beat.
Then be it me,
To for thirty seconds
dance as tight as I ever
have before.
Not missing a single note,
Flip or drop.
Ending with a dramatic
Body thumping acted fall.
Judges scream in response.
Wowing them and a ticket instantly,
Handed over.
Adrenalin surges while rushing
Out to the waiting room
Screaming with a slight disbelief,
"I'm in, I'm in."
Take whatever shape
Your craft.
You have been chosen,
The Journey just now to begin!
(Dedication: For my old classmate
Prabir Sen-Gupta and family.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peace of mind frames the course of cheer,
Reap joy that heals the soul that knows;
Ask that good name can live most clear,
Bring fond goodwill that syncs grand flow;
Indulge the same as light shines near,
Reach as heart feels that affluent show.
Joy wears a face that mellows sight,
Etch a true zest that makes you whole;
Now dare embrace the path lived right,
Note your life’s quest with heart and soul;
Yield to deep grace in dance of light.
Embrace each day the touch of grace,
Love simply spells that feel you know;
Live your own way in time and space,
Opt thus to dwell bright precious glow;
Rich thoughts forge play with smile in place,
Abide calm tell where happy shows.
Niche waves of wit as fun floods room,
Impact clear mind with true design;
Kind words can fit what truth now grooms,
Happy daze finds what heart aligns;
Instruct code bits like agile blooms,
Laughter in kind now humours grind.
Now beauty shows in awesome zest,
Imbue your heart with wholesome fire;
Sense a grand flow as love greets quest,
Hurl feisty start as faith inspires;
Ask that you know how feel sparks fest.
Speak words of poise that sparkle bright,
Explore the truth that calls to you;
Note how thought choice can put things right.
Glimpses fund proof of mystic cues,
Urge love to fill each day with grace;
Prize a warm wit when pain brings grief,
Truth primes a will that lights your face;
Apt that sure fit in journey brief.

Early start
East Coast Ferry Terminal;
Sleepy journey
Trip for two
Getaway spa resort;
Rest and recuperate
Mystic moments:
Retreat into void --
Battery recharging
To re-jig sense
Spur sensorial feel;
Find and anchor
Getaway mode
Three days of rest;
Tropical idyll
Sing a song
Joy floods again;
Refresh soiled templates
Doing nothing
Can heal you wholesome;
Empty cups need refill
So there you go:
Two lovers
Playing catchup
Take your trip,
Embrace emptiness;
Rest weary wiles
Here by this bench
Watch people passing;
Wit humours worry
Driver's hot seat:
Fast luxury car
Speeding away
Now for a pit stop
Mechanics of motion;
Preventive maintenance
Bus trip homewards
Observe fellow passengers;
Flashy mobile devices
We flood the bus
Private thoughts lurk;
Ready to unleash
Air-con bus ride
Morning masquerade;
Chameleons in-transit
Glare of morning
Sun in my eyes;
Drowsy dreamy crazy
Missing the point
Stray words dislodge;
Meaning decapitated
Drowsy movement
Blurry sensations;
Graveyard shift starts
Report and lodge
Complaint that cuts;
Fire a loose cannon
Moody mindset
Uneasy dawn;
Distant tremors
Exit the start
Enter the end;
Roundabout lurks
Highway song
Go fast within limits;
Speedy Gonzales!
Follow the signs:
Deliver me
From my slavery
Illumination saves
Ignorance and blame;
Choice rewards freedom
Morning story
Sleep put on hold;
Awareness now grooms

the body has receded into a fetus,
imploding in thrombosis
in the parts also inside out
and in the microcosm of the eye
the retina retained a little or not at all
of the color that turned from gray,
from the violent movement of the branches,
from the insane rush of steps outside,
of the blood that has poisoned these worlds now.
in the empty mouth of teeth that are not needed,
since it's goo and rotten gelatin
this Earth liquefied in humours and odors,
time and who created it makes
revolt in turmoil the disastrous cities
and the monstrous and false pillbox,
houselife trap.
the tongue licks or lashes
the trees and men hanging,
the days in the mills and factories
and all sins and guilt
and what has been said and published.
is a headland in the midst of the storm
where wrathful executioners
point to the hearts of the world at random.
and then the field of thorns splits open,
welcoming all screams in the abysses,
all supplications in the graves
and the gasping sighs and grimaces
of each all many agonizing beings,
of those thirsty for praise,
of the deceived and strangled by their peers
and the complete collection of us sociopaths,
sanitized us, sweetened us,
we pasteurized, we failed,
until the immense and pasty final paste
pressed into an apocalypse package,
driven by the air and clouds and what else
by demons ourselves
and delivered with loathing to an ever-absent stepfather god.
where did you say you're from?
south Dakota or freezing New York?
I ain't got a dime to spare you,
but I'll offer you a ride on my wagon.
you better not be staying here long,
have you heard the humours about
the fog?
thick as night on a bright sunny
spot,
mutilated cattles but not a single
drop of blood!
and then we have those ghostly
shucks!
for centuries these parts have no
history of red eyes coyotes,
and what about those eerie lights
hovering at devils arc,
too steep for any mortal man to
climb and mess around.
if you're new in these part of town,
wait no more and get the hell out
fast,
no one here gonna take your word,
even if you say you saw Elvis here!
I'll be Damm if you live to see the
next day,
and now sunny what did you say
your name was?
my mommy used to warned me not
to pick up strangers,
she used to say they could be the
red eye demons.
why just last week my neighbour
jimmy,
got his neck snaped back like dried
old sticks,
and he's 6 foot 300 pound massive
fellow!
rumours had it that he pick up
some stranger in these woods
say I forgot to ask you something
boy,
just where are you heading to?
oh shucks and what ill time to have,
here comes those Damm thick fog
now.....

Razor sharp reality creates the deepest wounds.
Heartbreak bleeds through the tears of the soul
Blanking the mind, making life a blur
While we seek to find a way to make ourselves whole.
There's no such thing as convenient times.
Reality will strike without warning signs.
So what can we do to blunt these blades?
We must find a way that is not in vain.
The wields of reality we cannot evade.
So let's find a way to dance through our pain.
Laughter is said to be balm for the soul.
A good sense of humour can shrink our hole.
A former victim of bullying
Can laugh, looking back,
At the foolishness betrayed
By those who chose to attack.
Losing loved ones, the sharpest cut of all,
Can inspire you to smile at things quite small.
Was there something in their manner
That caused you to giggle?
Was there a particular phrase they used
Or their shuffle or wiggle?
Sometimes comedians can turn a phrase
That leaves you drifting in humours haze.
Humour can be a distraction.
It can help you process, help you hope.
Humour lights up the pathway
So in dark places we can cope.
A surprising paradox we come to find
Humour blunts blades while sharpening minds!
Cherish the value of humour.
For it can be your special key.
A good sense of humour blunts
The sharp blades of reality.
My biography speaks easy gains;
Mind photography in words said plain.
I journey here to sing and dance
To fling fond cheer in tact and chance.
I weave magic in verse and poise
To string antics in voice and choice.
My lifestyle speaks of form and wit;
Heart humours peak that message fits.
I live my best with smiles and tears
To love sure quest as faith frees fear.
I learn to feed each need and urge
To know each seed in feel and surge.
My posture frames a sense I see;
Soul knows the same truth and beauty.
I linger here by eastern shores
To live with cheer that sizzles more.
I tell my tale with reach that tells
A mindful sale that works out well.
My spirit sings inspired thought;
Form comes to be with play and plot.
I am a man who understands
To screen and scan both brand and trend.
I am a soul with body-mind
To love one whole with life I find.
My moments here speak of finesse;
My code I steer with charming zest.
I am a man who lives with joy
To love and plan and embrace ploys.
I am good cheer spiced with grandeur
Right now and here as soul splendour.
My memory reminds fond tact;
Feelings set free pure cause and pact.

you’re not adams apple
the fruits from tree of the knowledge
of good and evil
in the middle of the garden of eden
in genesis
yet at you
the round oranges of this afternoon-town
i stare
and my pate gradually
becomes pregnant
the wind that comes after
having a touch of your lips
puts the waging of its tail on my forehead
and my guava-leaf begins to melt
thus my hardware-business is going
into liquidation
the physician to the king is telling
it’s the symptom of an awful fever attended with
the morbidity of the three humours of the body
used and used and used
your smile has not yet become
stupid
so from where the lamp-posts of the
town start
there are the cutlets and the bolster
they are not the only to utter the last words
i’m too
in this summer
trying to decorate
the gate of my cage like wedding ceremony
if any soundless dew-drop comes
to prepare and feed me
my birth-day frumenty
but i’ve no tongue
at all
all over the face there are only the eyes
and to the fate of my staring-at
has ever so much blessings been available
I suppose the easiest way to describe my muses would be to introduce them to you in the order of their magnitude
shurrup she's introducing me well I am the loudest
what else would magnitude be. ladies first? geroffit ye cross dressin false etto worra bout 'arry? nah if we wake im we'll
never gerrover it Simson? I am norrabout t'expose myself to other mortals spadinuff puttin up with this lazy bastid,
Hiram?
no way once is fingers start typin I know you lottle crowd in with countless situational possibilities
Clouds, fog drifting currents of humours twist about like tendrils of long stemmed briar knots. stones rolling roundly
down green Welsh hillsides somersaulting to crash against fences around bottomless mine holes. or worse yet into
cold troutstream waters racing over smooth smooth stones let some one else avva go mate it's been dark in 'ere for
ages. Did those greedy Romans leave yet?
what? they're not ready for us ? this mortal's dunnit again! He'll likely purrus aside and forget us.
From deep within beyond all noise,
Known yet unseen my soul knows poise.
A certain thrill prompts my own voice,
Sense fond goodwill move heart's fine choice.
I go my way and do my thing,
Breeze through the day with dream that flings.
Each moment now weaves ample range,
Cheer does endow themes light yet strange.
I cease to write to just expound,
Thoughts come to cite how love gains ground.
I sit and wait upon the wind,
Joy frames grand fate here in-between.
Feelings rush out with easy strain,
I need not shout yet truth casts plain.
Love primes my ease with profound grace,
I live sure peace as light greets space.
Wit humours tease with worthwhile style,
Verse lines now lease such fragrant smiles.
I look to joy to humour fest,
Play fondles ploy with brilliant zest.
