Xirivella Cabaret

Recitative
------------------
Our clubs annual event is a .Cabaret music
This is the day that the sergeant at arms i
is the key decision maker.
Up until the "Anuncio sobre la división en el cuerpo"
and "le service du vin" where wine iis poured into a bassoon.
then the powers are given back to the Club Pres.
and the sergeant at arms is again the 
fourth ranking member. From the Tuesday before the Cabaret until
the last drop of wine
the Sergeant at arms is Ceremoniously the Club top official!
We use a plastic bassoon due to the expensive prices of
the real thing. These acts will began the even of
 food dance songs singing and performances.
often non members use the occasion to announce
there engaments or intent to find a partner.

Sequentail Art Part Two

Suddenly a large cat paw struck the fox and a fight transpired. they rolled around hissing and growling until the fox pinned the cat to the ground and said: "It did have to be like this we could have shared a chicken or two" the cat angered now: monkey flipped the fox and torn into  him with it's claws, the fox ducked his head and ran for cover. Then  the quail told the cat, "bob White" I knew you were a descent kinda cat. "Yeah the cat said I guess I am: by the way who is Bob White"?

Premium Member FOOTLE the background bio

in 2009 whilst word-playing around
the trochaic monometer I then found
two lines short& sweet
terse enough to tweet
an integral title is also vital
for this recitative recital
christened it 'footle' as a memorable name
Sadly- it is my only claim to fame

FOR THE RECORD
FIRST FOOTLE Jan 2009 (Plural footles never really appealed- I prefer my original creation)

Bonnie & Clyde

too snide

both died

The Option To Participate

We  asked her to sing at a certain range. What she had been used to
was changing the tempo to recreate the song: but we hired  her
with instructions. We had to retool her gifts. We hired a training coach
with instructions and examples. We wanted to teach and inform since
she had know formal training. During the lessons she said to me
" the way I was raised; you wouldn't let people know these things
cause then everybody would think they were pro!" I told her if everybody
you knew would be interested in this project I would hire them to 
support you and your effords at success: not to allow them to bring our project asunder. She then told me: " that Ole Gal of Glotta would come up in here
take the instruction and rail and rile through the lyrics like Lottadale"
Who's Lottadale I asked and she said it was just sometime they said in the woods, when they were camping and stuff. I toold her well follow the instructions and don't flake up the pieces like LottaDale! More flowing and
less recitative: soothing rich tone rich singing. Aria , Aria with background ah-ooh ah's! He told me. Learn it and do it natural, when you have accomplished this you can do anything you want!

Premium Member Night of Passion and Desire

Moon darkness falls on the streets of muse,
Its royal veil of lilac amorous hues.
Drawn to submissive embrace wind-tee base
Love weave lacey quintessence grace.

Flaxen way paves a world that swaddles me,
Poised a wide tide to guide the love of thee.
Suffuse in rolling mirth, night passionate dreams
Etched in memory silken honey beams.

Dry crimson leaves fumble as moonlight dance
Beneath calm of trees as we're lost in blushing trance.
Drifting off in the depth of flowering cherry tree
Finding warmth in forgotten summer beauty of love's glee.

Wind puffs its lips tussle autumn initiative
Leaves awakening us from our melodic recitative.

SUMMER MUSIC

                    a morning bird
             singing in a poplar tree
                comments endlessly


                  her happy chatter
        riding a warm southern breeze
                  has no winter in it


                   prelude to rapture
              spring’s brief recitative
            then sweet summer music
