the clink of cups and soft sighs
in silk kimonos

Glenn Gould - Italian Concerto In F Major, BWV 971 (version 1981)
it rains sunshine
when bach springs from the clouds
the divine voice

Three Word Wednesday
rotund parched scandalous
at 18
the young gospel singer
saw an ad for british airways on tv
featuring the flower duet from lakme
zing ding
a light bulb moment
decided then and there
to be an opera singer
whatever it took
a pleasantly rotund
pretty girl
pretty worked hard
to achieve her dream
when feeling parched
after a gruelling performance
pretty sits pretty
takes
a nice cup of tea
and phones her mum

Sundays Whirligig
THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Boy Breaking Glass" by Gwendolyn Brooks:
broken, create, pepper, plank, revenge, music, longer, mistake, cliff, loneliness, everything, snare
everything about him is repellent
he looks and behaves like a mistake
thick as a plank
in global solidarity women have marched in protest
against him today
revenging themselves on his pussy grabbing boasts
and misogynistic comments peppered with contempt
his insulting words create clanging cymbals
music of a broken snare drum rolling over a cliff
he will never overcome the loneliness
of missing the tasteless trump towers
even by solid gold plating the white house
turning it into a casino and groping the housemaids
( all will be newly acquired super models )
no longer is the world a safe place
broken, create, pepper, plank, revenge, music, longer, mistake, cliff, loneliness, everything, snare
everything about him is repellent
he looks and behaves like a mistake
thick as a plank
in global solidarity women have marched in protest
against him today
revenging themselves on his pussy grabbing boasts
and misogynistic comments peppered with contempt
his insulting words create clanging cymbals
music of a broken snare drum rolling over a cliff
he will never overcome the loneliness
of missing the tasteless trump towers
even by solid gold plating the white house
turning it into a casino and groping the housemaids
( all will be newly acquired super models )
no longer is the world a safe place

Friendship
sharing good and bad
a true friend is God's great gift
a rare gem to treasure always

Just An Ordinary Girl
unity mitford went to a school like this
although these days she is not missed
oswald mosely another great chum
found himself in jail for treason ho hum
her boyfriend hitler gave her the toss
so with a pistol a pressie from her beloved boss
she shot herself in the head but did not die
suffered in her remaining years because of his lies
some women fall for the wrong kind of men
disaster ensues like the fox to the hen
