Friend-Ship

FRIEND-SHIP

Friends exchange friend-ship
Engendering an awesome companionship
Just like birds of a fellow showmanship
In the circus of life mentorship
Ringing the dig-dong affair of relationship
On the ambiance of mutual partnership

Premium Member Showmanship

A proud bird, fan-struts across the grass; feathered-eyes, full-flared. Yellow, blue and green neon glows, in the afternoon sunlight’s rays. Crowned head, held high; puffed breast, shiny feathers; a grand peacock display.

Premium Member State of the Union Address - At Times Maudlin, At Times Macabre

  
    Spectacle of a Trumpian stump speech:
    Showmanship at times maudlin, at times macabre

    Purple Hearts aplenty, Congressional Medals of Honor
    Tales of American heroes to stir even the yawners

    110 minutes of non-stop vaudeville ~ a true marathoner

Premium Member Ode to Chuck Barry

The Father of Rock and Roll was not Elvis.
It was Chuck Barry, wild man from Chicago
He was the rhythm and blues king
His guitar solos and showmanship are legend.

Today we still hear some of his best songs on the radio.
Johnny Be Good, Nadine, Maybelline, Ding-a-Ling
Sweet Little Sixteen, Memphis Tennessee
He was amazingly talented, and marvelously fun to watch!


Falling Into a Dyke

I just asked a Cleve Mike 
What it might just be like 
To fall into a dyke 
While riding a fast bike?
A Mike Mc styling,
All day gusto rising,
His showmanship pricing,
His daily cake icing
But Mike was all silence, 
My question robbed of sense
Through not planned reticence;
I think A Mike's Patience
But soon from Mike "A hike!"
"Satan's own planned strike"

So, no last violence
To obvious common sense.

The Stage


Where pain is hidden
Where tears are suppressed
Where one can escape misery and suffering 
Where a mythical character comes to life 
Born 
Creates a life of its own
One's authentic reality hidden
Sealed
Morphed into the Character 

The mask is worn
A disguise 
Roles are played 
Dramatic performances along with showmanship 
Falsehoods arise
A superficial smile explodes
Life can certainly be a stage
Only behind the mask dwells truth
