András Schiff - Bach. Italian Concerto in F BWV971

If You Could Read My Mind

a coat of paint 

a tidy up 

bit of elbow grease

 and all will be spick and span

yeah sure

 and little piggies do fly

 and bob's your uncle

Nancy Wilson, When October Goes

Earthweal Weekly Challenge

 

 J S Bach

just turned in his grave

rolled around a bit in the milky way

skipping over partitas and preludes

seen brightest in the antipodes

in my front paddock

and said

i love you Nancy Wilson 

we should visit there one day

sadly 

no  one remembered

 to remind her

You Must Believe In Spring - Bill Evans

 

 friday night music

always a hint of blue

in jazz 

a crate of boulders

falls from the sky

flattens her

been let down so badly

once again 

you must believe in spring?

not this year

everything was going pear shaped today

no point in  moaning

about the elastic breaking

 in her purple knickers

falling about her ankles

in the middle of the street

no use going overboard about it

got to keep a balance

and a voiceless reaction

too bad about the gusty wind

blowing her skirt around her waist

her  moon shaped orb  illuminated

by a sudden downpour

in a cloud of petrichor 

life goes on

 Shadorma

sweet small thing

held in a strong hand

will it fly

will it stay

 the greek gods know - they play at

this game constantly

what can you do for me

i can hold your hand

make you tea

send you mangoes

and

a koala bear for Christmas

OH!!!

another loony he thought

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Homecoming" by Victoria Chang:

 birds, back, birth, come, gone, stories, remember, tell, nothing, when, wings, dies  

 

he remembered her  birthday

without her telling him

nothing could have made her happier

a beautiful card and red roses 

real love never dies

just like in the stories

the sun came out today

at the beach the birds sang preening drying their wings

when was the last time we had this great  weather? 

thought it was gone for good

with all the rain and floods 

 

 

whoever organised this beautiful spring weather today

many many thanks

 we may not all play like andras schiff 

but when a heart sings through the fingers

 it is a gift well worth hearing

 there are angels in heaven 

and then there are angels on earth 

who play Bach transporting us 

to realms of infinite joy

Earthweal Weekly Challenge...Wild Souls

 

 snowball is a wild soul

so are all the other cockies

fiercely intelligent characters

who can teach us a lot 

they don't deserve to have their habitats

destroyed by us

neither do all the other animals

suffering the same fate

they are here for a reason

to teach us how to love

Too Late

sometimes through dark storm clouds

a ray of sunshine will intermittently break through

t'was all too brief

it came too late

Auguste Renoir

 the french artist

who painted

peachy luscious women

none would pass

the vogue test now

but even so

still get the heart rate

thumping

(so i'm told)

and the rains came

and kept on coming

and may never stop

for a long  long time

and all the folk who came

for the sunshine and good weather

needn't have bothered

although

there's still 

plenty of space to drown in

Whirligig # 391

 

 

 

 

 

careful how you move

the crows have already disturbed the stillness of the bush  

the spider subtly holds you back in its web

the salty tears from your eyes stain your mouth

you want the sky without

the moon and the stars 

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "The Dead Are Beautiful Tonight" by Luther Hughes: stain, stillness, subtle, sky, crows, bush, back, careful, web, salt, mouth, eyes 

The Sunday Muse # 230

Cinquain 

 

no lift

five flights of stairs

this can't be happening

she has painful back issues

mon dieu 

where is

her  lovely knight

who's going to sort this?

still waiting for shining amour ?

tant pis

 

at first

she thought her love

would break this jinx for her

but it did not turn out that way

again

EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME
