Rhythmsticks
too much asphalt below my feet
sweating away on the rhythm of the street
music in my head, Pink Floyd and Lou Reed
blisters taped, melting in the heat
here I go again, day after day
keeping up appearances?,- no way!
do you want to go with me? just stay
get into the rhythm - no delay!
dedicated to Flower Brother Doug
Now this is very nice and close to me.one little thingy;
Keeping up appearances?,-I'd say!
Thanks for thinking of me.Again;with a little something here,and little something there.......well-ah-song material!
that's why I say: "keeping up appearances -NO WAY,lol.
Just kidding.
I sort of heard you drumming while I wrote this.
Apart from that walking is a very rhythmical sport
You should see how I walk when the Rolling Stones are on!Walk like Jagger......I think so!
summer observation
she smokes a cigarette hanging from her lips
a bunch of rusted keys is hanging from her hips
her painted skin is painted by the summersun
she mumbles something on the phone about how it begun
her eyes are hidden somewhere behind her well tanned face
her headphones seem to mock with her cause she looks out of place
her shoes too high and clumsy,her tartan skirt too short
gazing at the ship arriving at the port
(and she says )
the crowd starts pouring out
show me baby, show me,
you love me like before
tell me baby, tell me,
you won't leave anymore
every day without you
is like a freaky wind
raging and destroying
the peaceful mood I'm in
the crowd starts pouring out, a noisy awful lot
she looks in all directions and even prays to God
that he'll remember her and will come straight her way
not mumbling an excuse he'll arrive another day
she sweats under the summersun, smoking a cigarette
hopes he'll be beside her tonight with her in bed
she smells of orange blossom, her handbag is too small
the ship lies there forgotten,but now she hears his call:
show me baby,show me,
you love me like before
tell me baby,tell me
you won't leave anymore....

Summer Oberservation......now,write another verse,use Show Me Baby as the hook.......Hit Song!
I am going to do that,Doug. I wrote that REALLY late and now it's 0.36 and I'm kinda tired. Soon, sure
the sea
the sea
freed of quarrelsome ships
a field of medusas
dancing with passion
is waving at me
the sea
caught by spontaneous rainbows
a mixture of perfumes
teasing with passion
is playing with me
the sea
a choir of mermaids
sings heavenly tunes
with humourous lyrics
keeps inviting me
want to be Egyptian?
rip your soul apart
using words that hurt
the others'beating heart
want to bathe in chaos?
amidst emotional crowds
wondering yourself
what this is all about
I can't do anything but dance
I can't, I can't
I want to rip my soul apart
I can't, I can't
come, lend me your gentle heart
I can't, I can't
starting all over is hard
I can't, I can't

men with beerbellys
expose their uglyness
bodybuilders need attention
to impress
a girl in a tiny suit
thinking she's looking good
waiting for her Robin Hood
and nothing less
boys with headphones
writing messages for fun
nothing more
is more impressive than the sun
a girl in a leather suit
eats a plate of greasy food
wondring if she should instead
be on the run
mosaiques
changing their shapes every day
showing without giving still
too much away
yet there is so much to say,
so much to say

3 poems, all with different characteristics. Definitely summer oriented, or?
The Sea, what a beautiful way to describe your thoughts of it!
Egyptian Dance, to me... this is about walking between or being part of the riots over there. What dark yet sarcastic way to represent it... if that's what it is about. Good
on the beach, the ending. What a strange ending, I really liked that.
A girl in a tiny suit
Thinking she's looking good
And nothing less than
Waiting for her Robin Hood.
That's what my brain thought it said........other than that,three great ditties!(Dom ditty do!!)

and you say it all very well. But i'm not getting emails from posts here eventho i peek at least 2 or 3 times a week....guess i should comment a lot more often
Music is what feelings sound like
Listen to the Love

shoes littered on a square
people gone, but were you there?
colours red, maroon and black
tell me:she ain't coming back
monstrous riddle thrown at me
I admit that I can't see
noone there to take my hand
just a grin, my only friend
Great rhymes,great rhythm = great poem!!!
