Armrest Policy

Ables and not ables 
Sharing the same armrest 
At a movie theatre

But they are ignorant 
To share all the rest 
In their life matters

had little success with genre opera
Theatre&orchestra was more up his street
with his songs few can compete

Booth (Final Curtain)

Booth. How you hated the Union.
The end of suffrage you so despised.
One in the brain of the great orator.
Death in the theatre.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.


Premium Member Flame Theatre

Dancing candle flames, the nights flickering shadows, whirl about and play. They dance me to sleep at night and sleep their sleep, in the day.

Mortality

I am at ease with my mortaliti.

I house no Thanatophobia
No fear overflows the dam.

Though Death I do shun
My theatre question to Life remains so
When do we part?

Naughty Girls

Chaste became but waste, unto her heart
While she ran away ? Parterres pleasures..
Her theatre in both lust as love; a passion
Spellbound beauty; their veil's her desires.

Bladder Matter

Seated in the middle of a long row
theatre fan Joe urgently had to go.
But the play was running late
and his bladder couldn't wait.
So Joe went with the flow of the show.

Premium Member Too Lazy to Think

There once was a brain too lazy to think
As into obscurity destined to sink.
     While we dance to metre
     And conjure up theatre
That some love though into history slink.

Heavenly Chords

Appreciably great.
Exquisite.

I started moving closely
towards it
The new theatre
was situated quite farther
away.

I heard those peals
of melodious music
from the distance:

I woke up then
and realised
it was only
a dream.

What once was sweet

Has just got sweeter

The polymath

is now in Theatre...

And the claim is a foot!

I flipped a gnocchi 

When I saw this cat

In the Quarto...

and with a Juliet!

So I squared the matter

with a call for d'meter.

Only far

Only far, I can get my life so far, I feel it
Not only I but the present of life, 
and its consciousness understands this
Understand? No, never. Just imitate this life
But real…
Theatre…
Real tale…
I believe in life.

Here
But far.

Premium Member A Riddle Be From Me

An ambulance screeches to the hospital entrance,
In a mortuary van lies’ the father, such a senseless
Accident - child bleeding is rushed into theatre
The surgeon arrives’ goes up the elevator,
Sees patient, this is my son, operating would be reckless!

The soft, sleeping, turquoise curtains  do part,

Choir of chirpping robins, give this day a start.

God’s own dawn theatre, blesses my grateful heart.

Premium Member Theatre Temporarily Closed

Santa and Frosty went to the playhouse
A Disney movie with candy, popcorn
A small squeaky between the sits, a mouse
Theater closed, they stood outside forlorn

The Theatre

what he does not know 
is that she sighs 
for me to hear 
what his hands are doing to her 

in the dark 
two chairs away 

what she does not know 
is that if she were with me 
her desire would rattle the projector 
without my hands having left the popcorn bag

Dark Light

playwright
hope all-right
play to fight
play in light
rather at night
yet theatre
has mighty hater
master of disaster
`precious' director
like in surgical theater
script lands in morgue
your success equal to director's mock
fight the rock
one day you'll be the rock
Form: Lyric

I'M Off

I'm off to the market
I'm off to display my wares
On this canvas of lines
I'll use my pen to stand my tent
Will you come and patronize me

I'm off to the theatre
to purely re-construct
their great ability in the art
their drama I've put to stanza
you may come and watch me play you.
