Monday Poetry Train Revisited #43

In the dead of night
Telephone ringing three times
Like the dead walking
~
Heavenly chaos
First love was a swirling place
No rhyme or reason
~
Far away island
Just clumps of rhododendrons
Coloured packaging
~
Island castaway
Eden was a savage place
Second chance crumbled
~
Skimped reality
Cold telephone reminders
Wrong number wrong place
~
Three chances to love
Last life is ringing now
For whom the bell tolls

Surprise Performance

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Programme cover of my school's musical performance.
Last night, after a long and weary Friday of teaching, I attended my school's performance of Grease.
SURPISE! SURPISE!
The performance was professional!
Talented dancers and singers created a "feel good" atmosphere.
The musical score was beautifully presented, adding some quirky extras to the original.
There was a real old car on stage for the well known song "Greased Lightning".
Brilliant choreography, costuming and lighting effects!
It was uplifting!
I felt proud to be a part of Casey Grammar School!
