Premium Member Dance Following Music


     “Music is the wine that feels cup of silence”
       At centre of the Dance Group performers arre blind.
       But that doesn’t matter at all, any one can find,
       Each one competent in musical sense.

     Music is the wine filling the cup of silence,
     Keen Hearing Power dominating Eye Contact.
      Never to depend on a Visual Impact.
     Blind guys rely on their own rhythmic sense.  

        Music Is the wine assisting to step rhythmic.
        Perfect synchronisation to cope up with dance.
         Dancing under rhythm and tune to enhance.
         Performance is sure to be systematic.

           Music is the wine assuring to step rhythmic 
         Blind guys blessed by sharp sense of hearing 
         are prompt to dance delight in group gathering 
          empowered by mode of sensuous supreme sonic.

Premium Member Painting

Roses are a challenge to 
capture -- 
I adore texture and color;
flips and curls, licks of
light -- scent that crosses
borders of night, here on
canvas preserved, for
treasured recall.  Though
art cannot say it all – 
one must allow the heart
to be inscribed, indelibly 
brushed with what is vivid 
and soulfully alive. 
Performers play best to a captive
audience...our appreciation
are what blossoms seek,
why rains irrigate and seas
peak, the eye of a wave
an attention getter – my palate
seeking to intimately adjust 
and transcribe -- Nature often
an illusive sitter --


Premium Member one of my better interviews

Many nasty mean online reviews
This ballerina has not paid her dues
Don’t bother the drive to Syracuse
Seeing this performance, you will lose

The actors have missed many cues
This circus simply does not have a muse
The seats were stiffer than most church pews
Many performers had ugly dirty shoes

You can ask many critic gurus
I will bring them in by three’s and two’s
This ballet did nothing but confuse
Most of the company had no clues

Did the director have a silly muse?
Brittle scenery needed better glues
Lights went out due to a faulty fuse
This is one of my better interviews

Early July

It’s early July and what’s happening is
The weather’s so hot it will make your hair frizz
And perhaps even ruin that cold champagne fizz
At Taylor and Kelce’s “I do’s.”

Abe Lincoln sits gazing at water, now green,
With algae the worst anybody had seen
And you-know-who claiming his conscience is clean – 
It’s vandals that one should accuse.

The National Mall has a Giant State Fair
But somehow the crowds aren’t showing up there.
Performers pulled out, for they’d rather be where
They’re not forced to air you-know-who’s views.

Though the temps may be broiling, an obvious fact,
And the wedding at Madison Square will distract,
The sad truth is the soon-to-be 4th has been stacked
With so much that it’s hard to enthuse.

For our country’s divided on every stage,
Which will make it a challenge for us to engage
And beneath all the fireworks, sorrow and rage
Will infuse all the red, white, and blues.

As I See It,
It's All Entertainment;

Performance For The
Performers, Seen Where
It's Seen, Said How It's
Said, Sensed Sensational,
Or Senseless, Or Sensible...

You Get The Draft...
Through The Cracks
In The Floorboards...
Can't Fool You, You Unseen
And Unsaid, Never Seen...

That's How I See It
But It's Entertaining;
Well... The Way I'm 
Entertained, From Here,
Only Me, At Least By Now.
Too Much...

It's Dark In Here...

Here Comes The Show...

Premium Member The Stellar Opera

The velvet curtain of the night slowly opens,
revealing a stage of infinite, shivering light.
We are the audience and the performers both,
forged in the pressurized heart of dying giants.
Every atom in your thumb; iron pulse in your blood,
once drifted as silent grit across the cooling void.
There is a symphony in the stillness of the vacuum,
a frequency felt in the marrow rather than the ear.
It vibrates within the collision of gas and gravity,
a slow, melodic collapse igniting a nursery of suns.
We look upward to find our oldest ancestors,
tracing the glowing debris of a trillion-year history.
The sky does not just loom above our fragile heads;
it lives within the very structure of our breath.
We are the universe looking back at own reflection,
a brief, conscious spark in the long shadows of time.
Do not fear the dark that weaves between the stars,
for you are the light that was promised at the beginning.
Carry the heat of the nebula in your quiet hands,
rejoice; sing the song that the elements first composed.

My 8th Leaf



Picked thee from high place

Meters from its base

Now the longest one

Note's page overspan

It's a bamboo leaf



Students – sports players

-And stage performers

From InterCapSU

Just said “Bye, bye you”

Towards Home-Sweet-Home



September last day

While bus on delay

Road's bit so rocky

Blurred air was dusty

Sun has just set



On bus “Marienelle”

Beside window sill

On Sigma somewhere?

A highschool near there

Dumarao coming



Processed Salingsing

Papers to Ma'am Bing

Bought books, inks, CDs

Went to Ma'am Gomez

Somehow busy day.

Here’s To

Here’s to the doormen,
The porters, the waiters,
The plumbers, the cabbies,
The exterminators…

Here’s to the teachers,
The nannies, the nurses,
Performers and artists
And writers of verses…

Here’s to the athletes,
The mailmen, reporters,
The chefs and the police force
And climate supporters…

Here’s to the builders
And tour guides and cleaners
And research assistants 
And medical screeners…

Here’s to repairmen
And bakers and drivers 
And farmers and shepherds
And all of the strivers 

Who put in the effort,
Most times, to the letter,
To help make our lives 
(And their own) so much better.

MAIN STREAM PRO
Championship wrestling
offered several active and former
world Champions
deals to perform
they wanted to bring Competive wrestling
back.
It is centered on performance
and Wrestling.
From huge in staure and crowd drawing ability.
Stars compete in wrestling matches
with less interview and show.
It streamlined and based on ability and performance.
They named a company Champion
and gave him contention
and then the promoters got involved and use the draws to
to make mainevent quality matches
while startups and seasoned performers
competed for the attention of both audeince and propmoters.
Audance- Pro style is being devolped to accomadate the style and look of
the show.

Premium Member Nothing Personal

  
   Boos echo in the canyons of our ears
      Jeers vibrate like cymbals 

   Performers mistake them to heart

   Though they merely honor the primal urges 
      of raspy voices, of bellows-like lungs

At the Beacon Theater

Went to a concert last night, across town,
To see an old favorite of mine, Jackson Browne.
We slogged through a downpour of thunder and rain,
Where the opening song had a “deluge” refrain.*

The show was amazing; the singing so fine
That years fell away with each lyrical line.
The fans were enamored; we clapped and we cheered
As our younger selves, as if by magic, appeared.

For more than three hours, the music fulfilled
The crowd’s expectations, with most of us thrilled.
Yet still, there was texting on cell phones a’light
From various seats, which just didn’t seem right.

It put a slight damper on what was, to me,
An evening as special as any could be,
For certain performers tap into the past
With a power that, over the years, seems to last.

*”Before the Deluge” by Jackson Browne

Premium Member When a Shining Star dies

We seem to be losing our famous entertainers so fast. Its not that they can last forever. But its that they must finish their talent in Heaven, where they can rest. The best part is that their recorded music lasts a life time.  However, their bodiily existence is gone and we can't see them perform in person.  

The new performers are good, and entertain our minds for the present. But the old ones we grew up with can never be forgotten or replaced. 

So here's to you Connie, Beach Boys' leader. and all the others.  Your music  keeps us going. Keeps us believing, they were always on our minds. 

See you when I get there, again.  L-O-V-E.

Premium Member An 'I've Wasted my Whole Life' Moment

     Have you ever had an ‘I’ve wasted my whole life’ moment
         If you have, or if you can close your eyes and imagine one…

     You don’t necessarily have to be 'that old,’ though 
        you may sob harder at the age of dwindling returns

     … The pain is soul-searing: you’ve poured your heart
         into a child, a close relative, a relationship, a marriage
           

     and now you’ve been left irretrievably high and dry,
         so you have failed… miserably...

     There’s no one can ‘coach you’ through waves of despair
        stomach-churning nausea, ready to devour you

     No ‘pep talk magic’ to revive your spirits, to restore your equilibrium
        ‘Pep talks’ are for performers; you are not acting, your pain is real 

     But there is this:  It's All Good.  For you.

        ~ Consider the Source.
