Iconic, late Austrian physicist, Albert Einstein.

  The general theory of relativity, he formulated.
Great man of science; a genius highly celebrated....

In the legend of one,William Tell
an archer& Swiss-born rebel
Such accuracy & skilled know-how
but,to an Austrian hat would not bow.

So had to skewer an apple on his son's head
this obedient  lad trembled &said
keep your eye's open father,please
&    dear Papa,do not do not, sneeze...

Today I’m thankful for the ability to dance
and for having read the words of people like Vicki Baum…a gifted Austrian writer
Who through her writing helped to make our world a little brighter 

Like the day in her life when she penned this little gem

There are shortcuts to happiness she wrote
and dancing is one of them

Johann Sebastian Bach
  composed concertos that rock
Ludwig von Beethoven
  gave us music for roamin' and rovin'

Austrian composer Johann Strauss
  the popularity of waltzes widened
An Amadeus Mozart violin solo
  sparkles with a glass of bordeaux 

When on these composers folks take a pass
  ~ they miss out on a classical gas...

We used to have buttermilk
and Austrian white wine
from Safeways
and used to buy 2nd hand Prog from Beanos
The years have sped by
and I'm not recalling any standout shop now
Unless you include the durable Buddist centre
Toothless gaps in the town square
The Whitgift Centre is half empty
Samsung Mobile shop is closed
The years have not been very Kind
The sound of laughter is removed...

Thunder clouds roll back, rain does succomb
shepheards emerge their flock
sunrays, brightens the horizon
mountain range, as far as the eye can see

The far distance , a sand block castle
the fore ground a humble village
goats lapping  the bulging lake
sparrows emerging with song thrush

As children run playfully from their home
pointing to the sky, rainbow a picture
two lovers take to the lake,she seated
he stood, poll rowing....

Venusian being the damsel here
Gives me amiable vibes clear
Ever in need of the words anew
To extoll the diva in my view 
For changing is her super mien
In every week valorous I mean
Attire is made of Austrian glass
She is the belle and full of class
When moves spreads the scent
As if she is from heavens sent
Made by God in utmost leisure
And His divine perfect pleasure
Are you an angel from heaven?
An enamouring enchantress even..!!...

Visions of Europe


Alizee is dead to me

Indila can eat all of Paris

She can never have even an ounce of me

My heart belongs to France

Moi et France took a vacation to Austria

Where I met my new love, I call her Zoe!

We sing and we sing, and even more

Drunken recklessness

With mi amour, je suis, je suis


Notes: Zoe was the Austrian entry in Eurovsion 2016. singing a song in French. Alizee and Indila are French pop singers....

Praise to the beautiful mountains and lakes,
The humble log abode that provides a home,
Where the parents and children of Austria live.
The wooden table where they sit and dine,
Delicious foods prepared, freshly baked bread,
Cheeses and cakes and cookies,
Dinners cooked to perfection,
The bright dirndls the women wear, 
And the lederhosen worn by the men,
Evenings of good music and singing,
An exquisite destiny to visit again.

Lying in a verdant spring field,
scents of fruit and roses permeate the air;
thoughts of you are never far.
They caress like the sun's warm rays,
bringing a suffusion of joy to my heart.

The hum of occasional automobiles
blend with the drone of honey bees
lulling my senses like a Gregorian chant
in an Austrian monastery.

You and nature have become 
my tenants of religion,
calming my restless spirit;
soothing my soul, 
until I am a placid lake
soaking in all that is you....
