Week 356 (April 5-11) Poems Topic: Opera

[C. J., Cool yet firm like ice]

You have until the 11th of April to post a poem and from the 12th to around the 16th of April, we’ll vote for which one we thought was best!

Please post directly into the topic and not a link. Please don’t use a poem previously used in this group. Only one submission per person is allowed.

Your poem can be of any length!

This week’s topic is: Opera

Thanks goes to Philip for suggesting the topic!

The rules are pretty loose. You could write a poem about anything that has to do with the subject/photo but it must relate to the topic somehow.

Most of all have fun!

Title : Phantom
Poet : Edward Davies

Hiding in the opera house
Beneath the city streets
Playing organ music
For the ladies that he meets
He may not be the best looking
With burns upon his face
But all those lovely candles
Really brighten up the place.

Hehe. Great job Edward! I was wondering if anyone wanted to touch on that story... :)

Title: Vocal Coach
Author: CJ

Push from the diaphragm
that's what sing coach says I have
I don't get why vocals have
to I'm not an operaman.

Sitting in the stale room, fan
buzzing loudly, annoyed I am.
I won't sing like Tenors, man
Just let me be, I know I'm bad!

Note: Just being silly. This poem was not meant to be taken seriously. :)

Update: I'm sorry but it looks like the polls and next contest will go up later tonight!

I was planning on doing these things earlier today but time got ahead of me.
