Performer spies a boy nearly asleep;
  “Look,” he calls out; sitting duck’s
     body shakes with laughter.

One person I really admire,
Is a gal up on a high wire.
The bravest I’ve met,
She’s using no net.
When she performs, she lights my fire.

The performer pulled his ham string;
       Trying to make her sing
       And lying by the bedside;
       Terrycloth embroidered 
       And again the bells won’t ring...

A cute nudist her name was Lorna
Loved sex in the flora and fauna
She’d get down on her knees
Neath the bushes and trees
as Lorna's an outdoors performer!

A  circus performer – Louise -
while swinging mid-air by trapeze
missed the bar; it was grim.
What a pity for him!
He had the misfortune to sneeze!

When asked
The traffic rider
That streetwise acrobat
How
He knew without a prior
When a driver would do that
This performer replied
Spinning
With some pattern recognition
After long
Is spun
Into chaos intuition...

(3 Senryu verses)

The morning sun dawns
electric white on another 
day of lost promise.

The invitation
received, jump up! Respond like 
a paid performer.

The crisp, sharp shadows
hide a murderous magic 
called loneliness....

Regal owl knew more than most about steampunk and time.
He kept his eye on the prize, understanding priorities more than most.
Is that a Latin tire he stands on, asks a Coplay performer sublime.
Looks more like Hebrew, I said, with a nick of a superior boast....

My Functional Movement Disorder
Turned me into a performer.

My body becomes jerky,
And I move quirky.

My arms  move spasmodic,
Onlookers may think I am neurotic.

But I am not foolish or silly,
This disorder will not kill me.

So if you see my jerks,
Know they are now my quirks....

"Sacred Moan(s) 2"

ruthless desire
a declaration of faith 

warm and soft 
plausible deep moan
to the solemnly pucked

with pipe in plume 
sing out,  nomadic performer 
and make delight  that softly a wait
utter into places , intense fervor of body
give enthusiasm to the soul~

No more lyrics to this song
No more autographs with this gold pen
No stage or lights for this great thespian actor
No more cameras or pictures for this performer
No motion pictures or TV commercials for this superstar
Now, I am standing here, silent, out in this cold pouring rain
No more crowds and no damn fame...

You could have hopes and dreams,
Days where you pray that God,
 Guides you to the future,
Meeting friends each day,
Sharing stories and dreams,
Listening to concerts,
Becoming a performer.
My illustrious piano days,
Singing Elvis my favorite performer,
God continues to bless us as seniors.

E-ager beaver brings energy, 
M-aking everything glow; 
E-ach action is enthusiastic, 
M-oving on far from sorrow. 

M-any people are pleased, 
O-n the fourteenth of July; 
N-ice work she has done, 
S-he truly soars up high. 
A-n extreme zealousness 
L-ingers not in the performer; 
E-ither vigor or fervor fills the life of the eager beaver....

(Dedicated to Larry Fine who died January 24, 1975.)

When you died in 1975, it was very bad.
It made millions of people sad.
You were a great performer and people loved to watch you.
They tuned in to see the wacky things that you'd do.
You starred in every episode unlike Curly, Shemp and Joe.
The only two who starred in every episode were you and Moe....

N-ame of the game 
O-bliterates the apathy; 
E-xtreme diligence July fourteenth 
M-akes the eager beaver's 
I-dentity. 

S-till the name of the game 
A-ims to show strong interest; 
N-o time for disregard, 
C-omplacence, and too much rest. 
H-ardwork and fervor bring 
E-nthusiasm like a flame; 
Z-eal of the ardent performer is the name of the game....

He’s got the place rock’n
He is a rock and roll king
Our boots began knock’n
Our posteriors began to swing

Where did you get this performer?
He came from Steve Tyler’s house, said Wormer
The amps cannot go much higher!
We were shocked at his fire.

Is he a headliner now?
I guess so, my friend said.
His meows are a wow!
He’s completely rock and roll fed....

(Dedicated to Moe Howard who died May 4, 1975.)

He had black hair, he was short and his name was Moe.
He loved to slap and poke Larry, Curly and Joe.
I've seen most of the shows he was in.
Moe and the other stooges were very funny men.
1975 was a sad year because God decided that it was time for him to go.
I'm talking about the unique and talented performer named Moe....

The skaters glide across the ice,
Perform a triple axel, twice!
But sometimes fall and pay the price;
I don’t know how they do it.

For if a slip is somehow made,
Perhaps by tripping on a blade,
A beaming face is still displayed
As if they never knew it.

Until the point the music ends
When each performer comprehends
He’ll earn no medal dividends
Because he somehow blew it....

circus performer
a family tradition
passed on to me

a big top flyer
Oohs and ahhs heard from below
in the spotlight's heat

higher I rise
reaching for my partner's hands
the moment of truth

I hold my breath
hundreds of feet above ground
grabbing victory

swinging freely
after somersaults flying
applause like music

an entertainer
my calling to defy laws
of gravity...
