Open Air Stage, Corvara in Badia, Italy |
"Whether you are a writer or an actor or a stage manager, you are trying to express the complications of life through a shared enterprise. That's what theatre was, always. And live performance shares that with an audience in a specific compact: the play is unfinished unless it has an audience, and they are as important as everyone else." Lee Hall (Brainy Quotes)
Greetings to all bards, minstrels and itinerant poets! As always we extend a warm welcome to you, and invite you to take a turn upon our stage. This forum is for the sharing of poetry without parameters - the choice is yours. Please take a turn as a member of the audience as your interest and commentary is greatly appreciated. The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads IS a 'shared enterprise' for its members and friends.
I felt after all the blackness I have written recently I thought I would share a little ditty with some humor... after all why not just laugh at the misery.
ReplyDeleteKing Lear takes to the stage...
ReplyDeleteI added one I wrote Saturday. Hope that's okay.
ReplyDeletePosting Late for Margaret's prompt. My weekend was so busy that I postponed it until Tuesday and Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteGood day to all! This week is off to a flying start. I am sharing a few readings of my recent poems (since grapeling asked)
ReplyDelete:)~
Happy Tuesday everyone. :-)
ReplyDeleteMornin' Toads!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!! I am posting an older piece. I am having a bit of a struggle with writing. This too shall pass. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Tuesday to all, sorry about the curse words. Something new.
ReplyDeleteSharing my sons poetry here today… Hope you don't mind (they are my photos thought :)
ReplyDeleteForgive me. I'm also sharing one I wrote and linked late to a past challenge. Hope that is OK as well.
ReplyDelete…and I will be back later tonight to finish visiting and commenting on my "Artistic Interpretations Challenge" and HERE later tonight. We had a snow day - no school - and I've need to get out to barn and grocery store before the roads ice up again. … I THOUGHT I moved to the south where winter was non-existent.
ReplyDeleteI just submitted "First Night" for your reading pleasure. It was in response to Blacklight Candelabra's weekly blog challenge. This week was in the form of a haiku. I chose to attempt the traditional syllable pattern (5-7-5). And yes, those are MY feet hanging out of a tunnel in my first cave :)
ReplyDeleteI offer an experiment - please tell me if it works for you.
ReplyDeleteLate night (or very early morning) here in Australia; I'll be back to read others in my tomorrow.
