Lang Lang - Excerpt from Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto
a tiger lurks within him
unleashed on a steinway grand
kung fu meets prokoviev
cato plays piano
where is inspector clouseau
madness in music
shades of a wrecking ball
splintering rendition
haiku horizons

Sunday's Whirligig 128
THIS WEEK'S WORD
the vagrant got a kick out of
his sleep over memories
reminiscing when he was a kid
nights of yarning way too much
shaking with laughter with friends
watching the grey mist over the ocean
the white spume of the waves
listening to the song of the sea
he was the least likely person
to ever end up in this position
at the bottom rung of the ladder
Words from " Sea Fever " John Masefield
song grey spume mist vagrant kick
yarn laughing shaking sleep over way

Sundays Whirligig 127
Adolphe Valette
farmer flows fox press bow butterflies
ravage songbirds munching dazzled palms tomatoes
she could have married
a french farmer who grew tomatoes
near a pretty village where the river flows
filled with songbirds and butterflies
she could have attended mass
every sunday in the old village church
pressing her palms together
and bowing in prayer
a tradition the congregation still practised.
mais non
she was too dazzled by city life
munching croissants
reading books in cafes
wearing her fox fur and
dreaming of becoming
a philosopher
