ODE TO TOMATOES
happily it is wed
to the clear onion
and to celebrate the union
we
pour
oil
essential
child of the olive
onto its halved hemispheres
pepper
adds
its fragrance
salt its magnetism
it is the wedding
of the day

ODA AL TOMATE
se casa alegremente
con la clara cebolla
y para celebrario
se deja
caer
aceite
hijo
esencial del olivo
sobre sus hemisferos entreabiertos
agrega
la pimienta
su fragancia
la sae sa magnatisimo
son las bodas
del dia

Three Little Males Play Boules

These words fit the music from "Three Little Maids" from the Mikado By Gilbert and Sullivan in the video clip below.If you play the video clip you can follow these words at the same time.

Three little paper cut-outs are we
Cool continental chaps we be
Avant garde hip bohemian twee
Three little males play boules
Vincent's brain swirls round in rum

Claude's quiet gentle paints for fun

Pablo's pushy outrageous and numb

Three little males play boules

CHORUS
Three famous painters came together
Arranged in plastic foliage paper
Standing upright on Rall's fine table

Three little males play boules
Three little males play boules

Vincent cut his ear in a rage thump thump
Claude painted flowers and fruit yum yum
Pablo was vain and a brute rump pump
Three little males play boules

Vincent paints red and yellow displays
Claude built a bridge in green and grey
Pablo loved bulls tortured Dora all day
Three little males play boules
Three little males play boules

CHORUS
Three famous painters came together
Arranged in plastic foliage paper
Standing upright on Rall's fine table

Three little males play boules
Three little males play boules

POW PROMPT 13 POETRY ON WEDNESDAY

POW PROMPT 13
Time to put your poem on. I wonder how classical music inspired your muse.
I was inspired by Alfred Brendel and Schubert.I tried to express the thoughts and feelings that I have when I listen to this beautiful piece . The German Title means 'Many Thanks'
I used German because both Schubert and Brendel are German.
