Subject: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: katlaughing Date: 01 Oct 00 - 12:05 AM Just a reminder, at 1pm Mudcat time, EST, we will have an ALL POETRY HearMe in the Mudcat Concert room, which you may access by clicking here. Remember, some songs started out as poetry, so if you'd like it would be fine to read lyrics of your favs. Also, there's some great ideas in the recitation threads which Peter T. started. Would also love to hear your own stuff! Listeners welcome, too! Thanks, kat |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Oct 00 - 04:18 AM Sorry, what time is that GMT - I can't get my head round it! Just discovered last night, that the Shark (Manitas) can recite a great deal of the Eye of the little yellow idol, but Micca can't spell Kathmandu. Scary. LTS |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Little Neophyte Date: 01 Oct 00 - 08:02 AM Good morning kat, I will see if I can make it. What should I wear? Is it a formal gathering? Should I bring snacks for us to all munch on? Maybe quiet stuff so that the crunching will not interfere with the performance. How about I bring some chocolate, that kind of thing is quiet yet orgasmic. Mind you, if we are all having orgasms over the chocolate that would take away from the performance too. I'll just try to show up. Bonnie |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: GUEST Date: 01 Oct 00 - 05:14 PM Well that was fun. I will have to get a proper mic for next time. The Green Eye of the Little Yellow Dog - Les Barker. There's a green-eyed yellow poodle to the North of Khatmandu There's a little terrier cross below the town There's a rather sweet red setter lives upstairs at number two And a broken-hearted dachshund one floor down He was brave and he was strong but very short and very long And somehow built entirely wrong for getting there, For when you're long and very short, it takes but one arousing thought And there's a ratchet caught against the bottom stair; It was Christmas Eve and oh, the poor dog didn't like the snow; The setter shouted down, "My yuletide log; Tonight is Christmas Eve, the time for giving, I believe; I want the green eye of the little yellow dog." There's a one-eyed yelloe poodle to the north of Khatmandu There's a little terrier cross below the town; There's a plucky little pup who knew that when you can't get up Then you'd better get a setter to come down. You had to be there... Cavia_P |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Noreen Date: 01 Oct 00 - 06:11 PM Glad it went well, kat; I'm sorry I missed it. We had a day out in the Yorkshire Dales instead, experiencing what people write poetry about. :0) |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Little Neophyte Date: 01 Oct 00 - 06:19 PM Well I was hired to do the background music. They asked for some quiet melodic, mood-like compositions but little did they know I was frailing away at some old-timey tunes. Sounded good though with the readings and I change to a modal tuning for the real sad poems. Little Neo |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 01 Oct 00 - 07:01 PM I'm not sure I can remember what all I read, but it included the following, in no particular order: Reincarnation The Mountain Whippoorwill Substantial sections of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Bonnie Wee Thing (Robert Burns) A Red, Red Rose (Robert Burns) John Anderson, my Jo (Robert Burns) Requiescat (Oscar Wilde) Ave Imperatrix (excerpt) (Oscar Wilde THe Unreconstructed Rebel Vacant Lot (Rod McKuen) and another by Rod McKuen When I was One-and-Twenty (A.E. Housman) I think that might be it. Had a wonderful time; heard some wonderful poetry, read some things I like. What else could there be? Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: TheMuse Date: 01 Oct 00 - 09:02 PM Dave O. I am sooooooooooo sorry I was not able to tune in to this today. I was trying to think of a poem that has affected me during my life and I came up with "When I was one and twenty", then I read this thread and see you read it. Darn! I recited this poem in college, onstage, as initiation to a Drama fraternity. I was petrified because my drama experience was all back stage stuff. The content of the poem struck me then, at 21, as being so true. Funny thing is, or maybe not so funny, as I remember that poem today, I realized it still holds a lot of truth for any age, even 49.

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Jeri Date: 01 Oct 00 - 09:08 PM I wish someone had mentioned there wouldn't be a song circle tonight. First time since we started this that no one's been in the room on Sun night. |
|
Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Little Neophyte Date: 01 Oct 00 - 09:19 PM Jeri, I went there at 7:00 and JackyO sang a song for me and I played him Oh Suzanna on my banjo. But no one else showed up so eventually we left. Bonnie |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 01 Oct 00 - 09:37 PM The Muse: I love "One and twenty", and I'm making it into a song. I have created the tune to sing, but haven't finalized my guitar treatment. As to its applicability to any age, I suppose so, but it seems to me to apply particularly to that early age of-- what, innnocence? naivete?--whatever--and how it can be blasted in such a short space. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: TheMuse Date: 01 Oct 00 - 10:19 PM Dave, looking forward to hearing it in a future Hearme. :-) TheMuse |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: katlaughing Date: 02 Oct 00 - 12:34 AM Thanks, again, everyone, it was fun. Noreen! That must've been a lovely outing, today! Jeri, as far as I know, we all just assumed there would be a song circle tonight, as every Sunday night. There were plenty of people who are usually in it who were not at the poetry thing, so I don't think it interfered. Certainly didn't mean for it to, that's why I scheduled it earlier. Amergin, very phunny! I have a special kat o'nine just for you!**BG** So who would like to host the next one? kat |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Jon Freeman Date: 02 Oct 00 - 04:21 AM Jeri, there is no reason why both can't run together and I had planned on being in the Song Circle Room last night (I wish the poetry session well but it is not my cup of tea). It just happened that my brother (Tim) and family arrived unexpectedly at 9:30 am and apart from generally socialising, we had a few drinks together and I fell asleep at about 6:30PM EST (11:30pm to me). I still feel that the 2 room approach is the best and I would hope that in time, the rooms will get more popular and that 2 events will be running side by side with sufficient support at some time in the future. Jon |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: SINSULL Date: 02 Oct 00 - 02:43 PM Jon, You should try coffee, just once. I was counting on you reciting "Gunga Din" and someone has to read from "The Man Who Would Be King." DaveO had me close to tears with a love poem he used to win his wife. It was a very special afternoon. Mary |

Subject: RE: All-POETRY HEARME Sun. 1, Oct. 2000 1pm From: Little Neophyte Date: 02 Oct 00 - 02:54 PM I think Jon needs to get a good night sleep. Maybe we should switch our schedule around so that Jon can attend Hearme at normal hours and all us guys on the other side of the ocean have to drink coffee and stay up into the sleepless hours of the night for Hearme.
