Short Callas Poems

Her Casta Diva truly great,
Maria Callas soothes my soul,
The music moving me to tears,
This is the finest piece I know.

I listen to her voice and smile,
Get goosebumps at her perfect tone.
She sang Bellini’s masterpiece
And made the aria her own.

Hear the hated song
Think things will go wrong
Cannot relax, on edge, scared
Expecting illness
My fate seems hopeless
Sweating like a creature snared

Play the remedy
Callas works for me
Relax, unwind, heave a sigh
Play again for luck
Lets me off the hook
Smile and wave ill luck bye bye

From poverty to superrich,
A Prima Donna - some say witch -
But what a voice that lady had.
Oh, she was Tosca, driven mad,
And she was Norma, Butterfly,
And many more who loved, to die.
She died alone, a broken heart:
Maria Callas lived for art.

(witch wasn't the word I originally wrote, but it wasn't permitted - witch in this 
context means shrewish woman)....

Oh my dear Mama 
I am in love with her 
I want to go to Port Rossa 
To buy a wedding ring 
Yes, yes, I want to go there 
And if my love were in vain 
I'd go to Ponte Vecchio 
And fall to my destiny 
I struggle with this tormenting 
Oh God, I'd like to die
mama have pity on me
mama have pity on me


To be sung to "O mio babbino caro" by Puccini
You can find it on YouTube I suggest Maria Callas....
