Calling Card of the Bard

In mystery wrapped
Forever behind the scenes
Did he pen King Lear
Othello, Hamlet ~ or was
He a Midsummer's Night Dream

Then and Now

I
am--
the bard
living in 
the ancient cellar 
of poetry, with open heart
and wines to inspire life, my only aim, then and now.

Idea For the Bard

I travelled to Stratford today
(Crossed  the Avon on the way)
In search of The Bard
To give him my card
As I'd had an idea for a play

Wurtis B the Bardolater

Wurtis B was a bardolater.
Shakespeare fan, there was no one greater.
He spouted the Bard.
Photo on his card.
Hamlet magnet on refrigerator.

horse trumps the bard

My kingdom for a horse he said
Yet Richard the Third we've not read
Though the play's assigned
Shakespeare’s such a grind
We'd sooner chill with Mister Ed

Story Telling

My story begins as all others,
jealousy, love, failure, success,
enlightenment, struggle,
happiness and despair.
As the leaf turns revealing-
the end, my tale.
Has more to be told.

Oh wait I forgot the bard...

The Nobility of the Clown

You make us laugh at the terror of life in a measured way,
Lets look think and react to new profanity,
Let's get jarred, the fool bows before the bard,
Because he knows life is hard,
He lives in perfect empathy...

Gracious Doorman

Wear a tie, tip your hat,
shine your shoe, don a spat.
That's the proper way to do;
adopt a cultured world view.

Passion Flows

yet passion flows in every word, the bard has spoken, we have heard , the rhapsody of life, cuts cleanly like a knife, it flutters like a bird , a kite... Don good one Joe Maverick ole mate.... re: "passions play"

The Eureka Stockade

The Bard stopped at Footscray
on the road to Ballarat
he was researching The Eureka Stockade
not Romeo and Juliet
he imagined the miners
manning the barricades
police bullets flying
hoisting The Southern Cross
and dying.

Unto You

All worth free of sanction
  its value beyond time

Our oath most revealing
   a memory divine

The Bard more prophetic…
  “To Thine Own Self Be True”

One meaning transcendent
   —that gift unto you

Emotions

The lucky man, who loves and is loved back, from heart to heart,
Who in Nirvana's depth has lost his common sense control,
-Emotions of that man can only be matched by feelings of the bard,
Who's poem got the magic charm to touch the reader's soul.

Brian,The Busy Bard

Three cheers for the bard,Brian Strand
The busiest judge in the land.
He'd carefully read
Appraising with speed
And then one more contest he planned!

Thank you so much for the time and effort you have invested over so many years, Brian.
All the best

Shakespeare

The bard of Avon live
Long live his renowned name 
I gather his words yo become a dictionary 
His lexical usage are more secular and diagnostic 
I move forward with literature inspired
By him and his works 
The sonnets he wrote calligraphes the venom
The venom of wisdom

A Horse-A Horse: My Kingdom For a Horse

A horse!  A horse!  My kingdom for a horse!

Wast penned by The Bard of Avon of course!

Richard's steed Surrey lay dead

Slain by a crossbow 'tis said

Dick pled for another 'til he was hoarse!

Awful

       Gob full...

                 Wrawful

                          Offal.
     
                       Haggis up for an awful gob full;

                  Toasting the bard with wrawful offal!

The Bard

this poem is dedicated to Darren, the green bard and warrior
there is a bard gentle but still a fighter for the right cause there is a bard who knows how to listen and when to speak there is a bard who heals there is a bard who has saved me with music word and deed

Smashing

I’ve entered a productive phase
with tasks at home, not turns of phrase.
There’s plenty jobs I’m getting done,
but writing sonnets isn’t one.
I have the skills, although they’re hard;
perhaps I need some leotards.
The bard wore those and so I might
at least look smashing in my tights.

Why Poetry 6

< Part Six >



A poet now sings
Feels fancy fling


Poise that hurls thought
Unease funds plot


Pain in odd blame
Can craft new flames


Try and try hard
To glimpse the bard


Too soon all's spent
Yet lives intent

The Making of a Bard

In our times, Shakespeare is finding it hard,
His poised quill and nerves constantly on guard,
The Alehouses serve no mead,*
He can't drive a metal steed,
But, Starbucks Mocha doth maketh the Bard

Epitaph on Amy Winehouse

          (September 14, 1983 – July 23, 2011)

Here lies Amy Winehouse under a rock,
who tasted vinegar in tomatoes
and took her time to open the padlock
for those entering Home Guard,
who were found below the bard,
let them remember her next fine toes.

Beats Me

To count, uphold the beauty of the form,
Or to depart, defying honored norms?
To contact ground with regular impacts
Or syncopate one's way off beaten tracks.
The bard, in famed soliloquy, departs;
To be, or not to be constrained, these arts?
For I am bickered, battered, torn and worse:
A muse abused or joyful freed in verse?

Cabin fever

.

   Without light
      Gold will
         Not
       Glisten

   Without hers
    Turgid  fupa
      ‘Tatched
     Az molded
         Clay
         Unto
    Hern thicks

   did i mention
  ‘Bout the gold
   *Glistening*

 "regard not the
         scop
  the bard iz the 
    punctilious 
     carnivore"

Paradox

Such a vain paradox:
Not truly in the box,
Or just out of the box,
This comic paradox.


To say yet not to say:
To do or not to do,
It's really up to you,
Be or not just this day.


Thinking is just as hard:
To think or not to think,
Upon love's vital link,
Odd rhymes that fail the bard.
