Unheard

it's like a singer
performing on stage
without vocal chords
his words fall
hushed in silence
like a deafness
upon ears
that hear

Falling Stars

Fizz'ling across skies
Wished upon for a moment
Night lights performing-

Disappearing Acts!
Little flames with little fame
Down from the heavens

An Irishman called of course Mick
Was performing a conjuring trick.
Sawed a lady in half,
For real, just for a laugh.
His assistant is still off sick.

while I slept was performing his stunt.

Brightening, freshening

The Pianist

Agility flows
through the fingers;
gently dancing upon
those black and whites,
like graceful ballerinas
performing the music
of her soul.

Celebrity Limerick 

Performing on stage he’d get sweaty
His hair colored blonde like spaghetti 
Though now no new tune
He left us too soon
We’ll miss you, the legend, Tom Petty

Algebra equations I’m performing while light 
And then I go home and write till late in the night
Hanging out with me might cause you a fright

Jive In a Beehive

Doing the jive in a beehive
Can be detrimental to your life
Performing high kicks
With pointy toed flicks
Will cause the bees to sting your behind

Away Have Been Slaving

Away Had Been Slaving

When Confederate flags in air were waving,
Black folk away they all had been slaving;
Fervently working,
And coffee perking;
Faithfully performing duty while behaving.

loudly applauded everyone at the sound of our names
high-pitch my talk for a silly sounding seriousness
performing so clutched down on heavy plunging drops 

late aged (bad), still recognizable ol' friend
