all made clear when you disclosed your secret to me years ago
no they are not sisters
DAY 28
FINE KNACKS FOR LADIES
dinner parties must have been great fun in elizabethan times we have lost a lot
DAY 29
a unique blue velvet voice melting hearts softening souls world wide acclaim yet imprisoned because she was
the wrong colour shameful
DAY 30
where are they now
these little french boys hatching a plot grandads now some have passed a baguette without wrapping thing of the past a more innocent time yesterday when i was young
a magical moment an entire city swept up in wonder the voices of angels bewitching us et bien sur delibes etait francais just sayin' (my grandmother told me to say that:)
Day 25
heard your recording
when i was seventeen totally overwhelmed knew then this was my path became consumed with this goal
imagine when i learnt the news you were coming here to perform and teach
it wasn't a rumour the music world was abuzz with excitement
dropped to my knees
when I received notification that I had passed the audition to be accepted as a student and that's how it all began
DAY 26
knock knock who's there
a laughing stock
who will set your teeth on edge with all his rants a swaggering fool
neither here nor there
definitely not there
sending the world on a wild goose chase someone who has seen better days
it's a foregone conclusion
the truth will out one day
for goodness sake how has he managed to bedazzle folk into voting for him
tis madness
meanwhile lie low wait with bated breath till it all comes full circle and hope all's well that ends well eventually
"I am not one and simple, but complex and many" Virginia Wolf
inhabitant of the outback and harbourside concurrently a swimmer unsteady tearful volatile abrasive surreal hands on hands dirty a mixed brew steeped in high culture theology and the gentle arts a politically incorrect boho chick a vermeer gone wrong
DAY 22
in my house it was thought
a young girl should be educated by the nuns play the piano sing in the choir speak french sing french songs
i remember you singing along with tino rossi berceuse de jocelyn
while slicing the vegetables in the kitchen a lovely memory
thick accents prevailed at home
we had a black labrador called ducky t'was only after many many years i realised that his real name was darkie
it was thought a young girl should know how to embroider french knots to cook french cuisine to create a palace out of a tin shed
making everything yourself was a priority to know that money was not a priority and to create beauty in everything was
merci memere merci maman for the rich traditional experience it wasn't always appreciated but am truly truly grateful now
Day 23
muttering to yourself you look as if you have been drinking raucous shrieking look as if you have been in a bar room brawl
such a comical bird you are
cocky think you were an aussie the way you carry on
DAY 13.....A Golden Glow from an Old Painting with a sprinkling of music.
Boticelli
miss simonetta vespucci
a six hundred year old famous beauty
never ceases to delight us with her translucent serenity sun streaked hair adorned with jewels
but not more so than my marmalade boy who is also a beauty
his soft fur is sunshine a smile amongst the daisies
his vibrato purrs serenading
me to sleep soundly at night
DAY 14......Dodoitsu Form 7 7 7 5
roses and piano music
brings a smile to a sad face it's been so long since you wrote i miss you a lot
i know you've forgotten me all in all not surprising you'll always be my dodo and still in my thoughts
DAY 15
Write a poem in 6 lines that expresses enthusiasm, simple language,repetition rhythm, rhyme and ends with a bang
stayin alive stayin alive ah ah ah ah stayin alive stayin alive not going to happen while that bastard thrives
kick him out with his billionaire mates let him eat golf balls while washing the plates we're comin for you fatso so take off and fly to putin's palace becoming his bride
flibbertygibit our english teacher's favourite word flighty flirty gels are not welcome here fortiter et suaviter is our motto
sedete in silencio| our latin teacher's instruction at the beginning of every lesson ad majoram dei gloriam the heading that graced each page of our books as we translated caesar's gallic wars and discussed aquinas' summa theologica
and from this medieval stronghold setting of gregorian chant and palestrina masses we were hurled headlong into a world where we discovered the beatles and the rolling stones gathering moss was never a consideration from then on
Day 11....Song titles
open cupboard doors clothes strewn all over the place these foolish things remind me of you
the lid left off the toothpaste reams of paper overflowing from the book cases you drive me crazy 0oo 0oo
but when you're smiling when you're smiling you make me feel like dancing
what is this thing called love i've got you under my skin i'd do anything for you dear anything
you go to my head like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew OH NO !
the hills are alive with the sound of music
NOT AGAIN!
i saw this thing coming out of the sky it had one long horn and one big eye i commenced shaking and i said ooh -eee it looks like a purple people eater to me the doctor did warn me about these hallucinations
arrivederci goodbye my love goodbye sorry seems to be the hardest word i'm leaving on a jet plane don't know when i'll be back again
DAY 12.....Susannah and the Elders
those perverted elders should really have known the size and name of the trees rather than fixating on the size of the imaginary protagonist's member
twas a risky business back then bathing alone in the open air in a walled garden they were foiled by their botanical ignorance it saved Susannah's life
even now tis risky to take a morning walk on a lovely spring day the hills are not always alive with the sound of music no more song bursts sotto voce from now on
whirlwind style prancing flying so high reach for the sky turmoil surrounds us worries galore not a good time in history again for the poor so dance the night away just like leo said
better that than fretting crying lying in bed
one day that billionaire bastard will hopefully be gone
hit by a golf ball splayed out on the lawn the sun will shine we'll all smile again meanwhile keep on dancing until his well deserved end
