"Showers to Flowers Jam" - April & May 2016

[Doreen Peri]

Showers to showers to showers again,
but who's complaining that it's raining? Me, it seems.
The only time I see the sun is in my dreams.

Cat mews beneath my window. Me-in! Me-in! Me-in!
I open the front door for him.

His dripping coat leaves a water trail
through the foyer to the kitchen.
I slip and almost fall then question my decision
to allow him in.

Where has he been?
It's been raining cats and dogs for an entire month,
at least. I wonder why, then I ask the beast,
"Did you fall out of the sky?"

Wet cats
Strange cats
Cats cryin in the rain
Mmmmmeeeeeoooooowwwww!!!
Let em in

Wet daze jammin
Life on splice
Drawing
collaging
Mixing it up
Switching it up
Immersed in Modigliani
Picasso with a passion
Ernst, man Ray, max Jacob
Climbing that bateau lavoir hill
Yeah it's rainin cats n dogz
Watching a donkey paint
A masterpiece with its tail
Blues and reds
Way before Jackson
Oh modi if you could
Have seen that Christies auction
170 million big uns
Mucho dinero
So much passion
So much love for the everlasting

[Doreen Peri]

Sorry, feeling dumb.
Who's that photo of?

[judih]

jump on the stage
miss the stage
splat flat me

[the mingo]

amazing what
you can find
working in the dark

[Doreen Peri]

I'm lost at the factory.
Oh well. Another day
another dollar and a half.

Accompanied by a rainstorm.

[Steve Plonk]

Woke up after the showers
Saw great sunshine among the bowers
Even my prickly pear cactus flowers
Are starting to bloom--
Roses are getting past their prime

It is the great bloom of springtime
A mile outside the city limits
In this old 'burb we call home...
My daughter's beau flew back north
Yesterday after we shared a great meal,
As our cat mews plaintively on our back porch
To be let in for her tuna juice & grub,
I finish up what is left of a tuna sub.

[judih]

one more hurdle
dissolves with the doing
stress, breathe, relax

[Doreen Peri]

Stretch, breathe, relax.
Just like a cool cat
gettin' his yoga on.



April left and May is almost gone.
Will there be sun before we go?
I'm exploring my possible wardrobe
so let me know.

[judih]

a cool breeze tease
for an hour or so
then hotter than hell

it's happening
a little to your east
soon, you too

[WIREMAN]

Modigliani
Picasso
Andre Salmon
A poet
Bohemian Paris
Can't put the book down
Sitting before the wire
It's talking to me
An owl
A face
Big
Jeff Buckley with tabla mix
On the tunes....now it's
Orson Welles reading Edgar Allan Poe's
A dream within a dream....within a dream........within a dream....w/the Alan Parsons project
Damn it was a long ride home from DC

[Arcadia]

jam shower
fresh antidote
for too much deja vus

[judih]

rousseau
flamenco
slow mix to heaven

[Arcadia]

good day
for coplas, food & drink
& reinventing wind & fire

[judih]

night soundscape
kitten born in roof
distant bomb blasts

strange lullaby
familiar disturbances
generous encore
