Small Change: cinquain
Talking
about dissent
is not really revolt
unless it leads to some real life
action.
Rebels
can’t change the world
without changing themselves;
that’s how all revolution starts:

Let Us Be Unbound: canzone
It happens once, and you can act surprised; the second time, maybe you didn’t see. But by the third occurrence, if your eyes don’t register it, you are either blind or willfully avoiding it.

A Song to Sing
One of the things that I fear people asking, that I imagine to be the greatest torture in the world to which I can attest with personal experience in the matter, is “What kind of music do you play?” Ok, … Continue reading

Well, into every life a little rain must fall, and the careful man learns to keep himself dry. Another great line from The Bat (1959) starring Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead – two paragons of the styles of performance they … Continue reading
