Image: On Offer are Favorites (here)
10 of 12 given words:
beef piped running archaic everything
carry appear shoulders stone hay
where's the beef?
not the boring piped music
monotonously running but variety
not archaic but contemporary
favorites that whet the appetite
everything one desires
requests entertained willingly
they carry a repertoire
that can appear anytime
spanning the years
with just a guitar strap
over the shoulders
not stoned nor playing haywire
but very alert
not minus-one nor pre-recorded
but musical fare offerings at real time
street performers have
come a long way!

"with just a guitar strap
ReplyDeleteover the shoulders"
Amen, baby.
I like the thought in the last line: "musical fare offerings at real time"
ReplyDeleteThey carry a repertoire of so much more within - unappreciated, undelivered.
ReplyDeleteWonderful last line Hank, conjurs up many thoughts.

Your poem is quirky, Hank, and I was drawn to the lines:
ReplyDelete'with just a guitar strap
over the shoulders
not stoned nor playing haywire
but very alert'.
We have buskers like these in Norwich and they are very talented musicians.
Sure have the talent and bring it out without the need for other additions.
ReplyDeletethe denouement is inspired!
ReplyDeleteMusic and song...the best!
ReplyDeleteAh, that is the kind of music I like. Street performers are any day better than studio recorded and altered sounds.
ReplyDelete-HA
Buskers are cool, and usually fine musicians (with some exceptions). Nice use of past words; makes me want to go find some buskers downtown.
ReplyDeletenot the boring piped music
ReplyDeletemonotonously running
- the art of street performance as introduced by these well worded lines ...
this is an interesting poem - a sort of notation of a programme of what is offered in so many places now ... well done!
Sometimes it could be so cool... but so often we just pass by... street musicians deserves to be listened to.
