Short Rehearsals Poems

Yes, this will be my tenth bride
people say it will not last
the others were rehearsals
this time it’s for real

So effortlessly do musicians play
  Concerts at night, rehearsals by day

Woodwinds, strings, brass or drums
  Why, when I try, do I come up all thumbs...

Broken arms hold a baby chewed in leprosy,
Black rain covers slit wrists,
Birthdays are rehearsals for Funerals.


The heart is a rapist

fate a faded color.

there just isn't enough candles
to go around
for the man
who stays
drunk
forever....

Overall repeatedly
In the past living
Future blurred
The trees and woods
Overwhelming
Fogging not to see
Rehearsals over and over again
Until the past wins
Seeking not to be positive
Negativity all around
Moments, up and down.

Motivated to be heard
From boldness to firm
Lessons have been learned.


Note: In an environment of negativity? Stay focused on positivity....

F-ighting a good fight for the faith, 
A-s well as finishing his race; 
U-sing his duty as a choir leader, 
S-ongs of praises were in place.
T-asked to conduct rehearsals, he taught the voice development; 
O-rganists were formally trained how to play the musical instrument.

P-erseverance and sacrifice
E-xposed his obedience to God's will; 
R-igid schedule was observed, 
E-very drill was filled with
Z-eal....

Dips and TURNS are all part
     Delicate footwork too
Dedication a must . . .
        Daily  l o n g  rehearsals
D i z z y  spinning is fun
    Difficult leaping moves
DELIGHTFUL   the applause . . .

This live stage show requires born actors
There can be no rehearsals 
No extra “takes”
Mistakes cannot be corrected
It’s all part of the act
Some play the leading roles
Some just sit in a dark corner
Afraid to act, afraid to live
Some create happiness and laughter
Some sorrow and tears
Old actors exit
New ones enter 
The show goes on regardless
Some can see beyond the stage
Some cannot
The Audience Watches….

The world is a place of illusion,
An illusion which mortals would never comprehend
This is a place of vision, of submission
Of something they would never understand 

……………………………….

Life is drama, 
Without any rehearsals
Without any comma
Or any refusals 

………………………..

Love is another thing 
Incomprehensible 
Irreversible 
Unrepeatable
Unthinkable 
Another common fling

…………………………..

And deatth                    
 No words
It always pours 
Never rains…....

Just unbound, the death rate.
Red roses had no qualms. Numbers,
unapologetic, they die or commit suicide.
Death had no tombs. One by one they
cross the stream, sinking half, floating half
in a cynic system, heedless, emaciated,
eyes looking beyond, cavernous.

They kiss the doors, will not comeback,
pilgrims of grapes or hemlock, dead on the toes
of rehearsals, dried milk in breasts and pounding
of metaphors. The mankind stripped of songs
drifting from one forest to another.
