Short Classics Poems

Roses are red, 
Violets will vary,
some have it rough, 
I’m quit contrary....

Music
Made in my house
Your emotions breathe in
No concerns as they fly away

I embrace certain branch
but they make their classics foggy
Put in to achieve my guiltyness
and such pursue wears me...

Music like medicine.
Making us feel better.
Mesmerized by classics.
Motivated by rock.
Manipulating jazz.
Mood enhancing music.
Marvelous is it not?...

Above all reason,
Benign,
Statistics more favourable,
Ticking time bomb in your head
Radiant sight,
Acrylics could suffice,
Combinations/mixed media,
Talented timeless classics....

I adore the flow
of natural music.
They are classy touches,
classics ...
Falling waterfalls
rivers running
The song of the birds.
even the thunder snoring ...
Heavenly sounds !...

Was into the classics in my younger years
Some compositions actually brought me to tears
Mozart and Beethoven
Their magic was calming
Much preferred to today's music in my ears...

George judged 'the classics' pretty slim pickins
Reading them, his mood soured and sickened
   George much preferred trash
   Which cost little cash
Then he tried Shakespeare ~ said, 'What the Dickens!'...

Some melodies reach down and touch our soul
Like the classics, melodies flow like a tumbling waterfall
Moved by the magic
Of a love thematic
It surely transcends the sweetest emotions of all...

Break out the shovels
They say that rhyming's dead
Let's plant one end in the ground
And through dirt on its head

But, before you do, remember
The classics that you knew
Rewrite them in a different form
Let's see what you can do...

Shakespeare and me
   just didn't agree
Neither did reading
   'great poetry'

The classics I spurned
   and when they were finished
     did happily burn

Now that I'm older
   their words still smolder
They've lit quite a fire
   deep inside me...

Cash, Willie, Cline, and a
Coal Miner’s daughter sang
Classics with "Dolly" twang.

I plan to discover more works of the great masters,
Like the rich green meadow find of bright red asters!
That is my New Year's resolution, a pledge to myself-
To enjoy and benefit from history's vast store of wealth;
And the glories of yesteryear lie waiting upon the shelf....

Of rural poor,in town & vale;
Recording family life,page by page
Whilst a clerk for Royal mail-
Now modern classics of their age

Black and white classics
When romance was romantic
“If you want me, just whistle
You know how to whistle, don’t you?”
An unforgettable moment
An evening of popcorn and snuggle
A warm glow
Lavender shadows dance by candle light

Cello Seduction

A brief glance toward the audience,
She closes her eyes and begins to play.
The maestro sat astride her Cello,
Sonata in C Major carries me away.

Ordinarily I don’t listen to classics,
But the sound of a Cello enchants.
So, as I listen to my virtuoso lady,
Her music seduces me in trance....

How does it sound when Rimbaud rocks and Baudelaire has got the Blues? 
When Verlaine vibes to the beat and Apollinaire to arpeggios?
Bistro Bohème tries to answer these questions!
We are a French poetry band, all living together in the same Berlin flatshare. 

Please check us out on Spotify or YouTube :)

Love,

Classics, mysteries, autobiographies, adventure stories and everything else
Filling this terrific library from side to side, floor to window, ceiling to top shelf.
It is a book reader’s dream, until the entire concept gets bumped out by technology.
Now all of our favorite books can be uploaded on our tablets, a fine use of lexicology....

Charm hurls fond say,
Lines of clear fact;
Attend the way,
Soul knows sure tact;
Sense fragrant feel,
Indulge the heart;
Calm poise appeals,
See precious art.
Surreal yet strange,
Choice sparks bold route;
Richness gains range,
Ideas reach out;
Plot and play prime,
Truth dwells in time.

Our car, among the classics
Our things, became antique
We, turned into relics
And our friends, befit a clique

Our cottage, now the hermitage
Our home, is a relique
Our life, will be a heritage
And when we talk, it’s a critique

What we do, has grown archaic
Our habits, turned oblique
Our thinking, esoteric
But now, we are unique

We all once read the same great books in school
Shakespeare, Dickens, Samuel Clemens, Hemingway
Each one a classic, thought to be a jewel --
With plots and themes still relevant today
A widespread range of characters portrayed -- 

But now these treasures, written by white men
Are labelled racist and misogynist... Amen.

I'm fond of the canary
   and its singing,
   of the lark the
   charm in
   purest emotion ...
   When I hear the chime
   I convulse and flow,
   I move outside and inside ...
   I admire the tuning
   of well-toned corals,
   the classics well conducted.
   I feel the flow of sensation
   when the music starts ...
   I appreciate touching music
   that makes the heart vibrate ...!...
