Premium Member Everybody But Me

Elvis he's a hero, he's a super star,
and I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car.
Dylan sings for millions, and I just sing for free.
Everybody's making it big but me.
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds, and here's old rhinestone me.
Why is everybody making it big but me?
I hear that Alice Cooper has some foxy babes,
in every state he performs always back stage. 
John Lennon had two fine ladies, Doctor John has three,
but I'm still seeing the same street walkers that I use to see.
Everybody's making it big but me.
I got charisma and personality.
How come everybody's making it big but me?
I paint my face with glitter just like Bowie does,
and I wear the same mascara that Mick Jagger does.
I even put some lipstick on,
but that just hurt my dad and mom.
Everybody's making it big but me.
They have groupies for their bands,
but all I have are my own two hands.
Why is everybody making it big but me?

Premium Member silly songs

I frequently make up silly songs
as I go about my day
- does that sound wrong?

Peter’s quite used to it.
Sometimes he sings along
when he sees fit.

It should be mentioned
that I have an awful voice
there have been singing interventions

I’m sorting my closet
one of the tasks on my
get ready for school docket

(*singing*)

“Look at me
I’m as helpless as a lobster up a tree
and if you 
ignore the smell
i’m doing swell
feeling frisky
and so much in lovvvvve

Look my way
and as long as your not driving
it’s ok
in fact
it’s just as well
cause I bet you can tell
that I’m frisky
and so much in lovvvve”

Litany

Litany


A television plays in the background	
while a housemate sits on the couch.
The sun through the window
promises another day.

My basketball team lost in the round
of the Sweet Sixteen, a disappointment.
Afterwards I nursed a drink and sang 
a Paul McCartney song. 

This morning when I walk barefoot
in my office space words stir inside my head.
When in high school I told my dad
writing was all I wanted to do.

Then I laughed when reading Walter Mitty
while sitting on my parents’ couch. Mitty 
was a quiet man who wanted life 
to be something more. 

Now the cat leaps onto my desk
as I write. Is it so crazy to have another
life, I ask. He blinks his eyes.
Today, a day off from a part-time job 
after working four-years traveling 
for a flagger job for construction crews.

People in writers’ groups know me
for roads I travelled.
Trees at the end of the street
reach for wispy clouds.

I saw a friend last night as she sat
at an art walk and displayed
the stickers she made. 

In college, I studied hard
to become a psychotherapist
but through a litany of poems
and songs my life is found.

My New Neighbor

Paul McCartney bought a home
Just blocks away from mine.
Of course, he faces Central Park
With views, I’m sure, divine.

My whole apartment likely
In his living room would fit.
I’ll let you know as soon as I
Have been inside of it.

For now that we’ll be neighbors,
I’m convinced – don’t you agree?
That I’ll receive an invitation
For a spot of tea.

I’ll tell him of the fan mail 
That I sent him long ago.
I never got his answer
But the mail is so darn slow!

We’ll catch up on how life has been – 
I want to know it all;
I’m sure we’ll have a lovely time
When I hear from Sir Paul.

Premium Member foggy jog

It was 5am, a cold, dark, foggy night
As Charles and I headed-out to the right
for the ‘Pont de Bir-Hakeim’ bridge across the Seine.
We weren’t the least discouraged by the rain.
 
When possible, we stick to the lower quays
the traffic-free promenades that run close to the Seine   
The wind was bracing as we established our pace
turning west which put a fine rainy-mist in our face
 
The trick to running distance is to establish your breathing
I time mine to my steps, 4-steps-in and four-out, decreasing
to two-by-two as we move into our groove. 
 
We’re aggressive runners, this is for fun
Exercising peers, who’ve run together for years 
We have plans, and set signals with our hands
we wear LED lights so we’re seen at night 
 
We edge the left bank - imagine the pace - the slow steady rhythms
Guys are stronger and faster but I hang-in there with him.
 
The Seine cruise ships are dark, moored at their last pier stops 
The pizzerias are closed, as are the souvenir shops
 
After crossing the Saine via the bridge central colonnade,
the path becomes somewhat dense and dangerous,  
a twisting forest of staircases and crosswalks sequitous 
everything bottles down - competing for space -
bike paths, speeding cars, busses, and trains 
 
On the right bank a Burger King is the first thing we see
Whoppers here feature brioche buns and yummy goat cheese  
Once we clear the river area, a pre-dawn quiet claims the streets
scents rising from the bakeries make you want to stop and eat 
 
It’s wet and dark as we wind our way, but we do this every day
five miles later, the gray ‘Pont d’Iéna’ bridge safely coveys
us back to the left bank with it’s tranquil vibe of birds awakening
 
Close to home now, entering the park, we tear into a sprint, 
our own private, morning, mixed olympic track event
His senescence (he’s 55) lulls me into thinking I can beat him
but I never can - why is my defeat so consistent?

Premium Member sands of Heraclee

Peter (my bf) and I are at Heraclee beach for the weekend.
It’s a little sliver of heaven, about 11 miles south of Saint Tropez.
It’s too early in the season to swim - being breezy and 72°f -
but it’s still the beach. I’m a neophyte beach bum,
but I’m willing and eager to learn.

I’m valuable even if I’m not being productive [I self-affirm].

something poetic-ish..

The sun’s a drowsy tyrant, not yet willing to unforgivingly scorch.
The beach is like glistening sugar, the sand still cool enough to walk, rogue west winds occasionally whip it to an ankle stinging sandpaper.

Majestic umbrella pines are dancing the hula. The shrub-like understory is dominated by drought-tolerant lavenders and rosemary that dense the air with perfume which complements the mediterranean brine.

There’s laughter, off somewhere, like wind-chimes playing clear, just above the ever-roiling sound of the surf. Birds are everywhere, gulls walk around like they’re bored, cory float on air, like kites and petrels skim against the wind, centimeters above choppy waves.

The beach isn’t crowded - French kids are still in school - but a few hardy, oiled, bronzed and sculpted bodies are sprawled on the pristine sand, like offerings to the god of leisure.

..

Our hotel has its own private cove, with adirondack wooden lounges under yellow parasols. Pastel blue-vested wait-staffers circle, on the quarter-hour, eager to please.
“Deux (two) American Martinis, S'il te plaît! (please),” I ask, expectantly.

It’s a nude beach, but Peter got an alarmed look when I joked I might go topless. “Annick (my older sister) always goes topless,” I informed him.
“I’d like to see that,” he’d said, and when I gave him a raised eyebrow, he amended, “That came out wrong.”

Premium Member Desideratum

“Shine until tomorrow. Let it be.”  John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Kindness is what we need today.
Patience, love, and forgiveness too.
If people do not think your way,
try hard to see their point of view.

Be gentle as a summer breeze.
Be not a tempest bellowing.
Be the sea when after unease,
its tranquilness shines – mellowing.

Be not a tree stubborn to grow, 
withholding the fruit it could bear.
Willow-like bend; let your hate go,
and behold your heaven’s first stair.

Take that first stair to heaven. See
more stairs that appear one by one.
To quote two’s wise words: “Let it be.”
Shine your light, and let peace be won.

My pulse is high and the heart beats double punch
               Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr
                          Music, lyrics, melody in beautiful harmony
                          "Love me do" ..... yes, it feels like love ....
                          Strawberries crown in my hair with the boys
                                    "Strawberry Fields Forever"
                      Quite a sweet dream ... "All You Need Is Love" .....
                     Paul, George, John and Ringo sings "Is not She Sweet"
                                I lose my breath, this must be "Real Love"
                                 "Penny Lane" ..... Who is "Penny Lane"
                   "Please Please Me" - feel a little tired - "A Hard Day's Night"
                                  "Help" they are behaving like "Bad Boy"
                            "Abbey Road" is a nice place .... but, "Let It Be"
                               I'm going home with a "Yellow Submarine"
                                           "Cry For A Shadow"

Premium Member - Yesterday -

~ if life were a happy song - I'd sing it yesterday ~
                                                                      quote by poet


        "All my troubles seemed so far away"
         Vinyl records, a review from yesterday

        The best songs of all time that will live forever
        Music had a completely different content yesterday

        A modern way of writing cultural history
        no tango for two - that was definitely yesterday
 
        We got the rock culture and it was earthshaking
        Record sales skyrocketed yesterday

        A crank gramophone on a living room table is fun enough
        Defined to be a clever invention from the era of yesterday

        As parts of the guidance to this cosmos
        Life is a highway - a souvenir of yesterday

Premium Member - Pop Music Icon John Lennon -

GIVE ME SOME TRUTH
John, was born October 9, 1940, in Liverpool
He met Paul McCartney in 1957 
John and Paul formed a close working relationship ... COME TOGETHER
Young and fearless guys with music as the common interest
Over time, it became a REVOLUTION
When we talk about John Lennon, his name associates with The Beatles
With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
George Harrison and Ringo Starr
WELL, WELL, WELL in the music world it became POWER TO THE PEOPLE

John left The Beatles in September 1969, a new TICKET TO RIDE
CLEANUP TIME for the skilled songwriter, vocalist and guitarist
- He would continue as a solo artist  BLESS YOU

I became LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS when I listened to his music
LIVING IS EASY WITH EYES CLOSED, sounded so beautiful
NOBODY TOLD ME, that John was actually a heavy drug user
IT'S SO HARD ... to deal with
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, greatest of all is love
IMAGINE, John and me in the NORWEGIAN WOOD
STARTING OVER, a new life in my home country

MOTHER ... HERE WE GO AGAIN ... I was in love
GROW OLD WITH ME John,
happiness is a word that tastes sweet in my mouth
Together with you, the song begins to find the right sound
STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

I AM THE WALRUS - a stupid young girl who dreams
NOBODY LOVES YOU (When You're Down And Out)
John lived on BORROWED TIME, 
bitter rivals and demons sparkle in the air
I feel lonely ...  and I'M SO TIRED
MOTHER said : YOU GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
 ... YA YA
