RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Fast moving rhythms, everyone letting loose, dancing to
their inner desires and passion, following up with a
tantalizing signature of an upwards stance.
...

Listening and watching as musicians trade places with
others, playing well, yet it just doesn't quite sound
the same.
...

Reaching for notes and tones, bordering always on
edges of night, completely loving how they take
mind and intellect away.
...

A very long time ago in another place where childhood
was so important to being, but alas, yesterday has
gone for its time to be born has come and gone forever.
...

Rounding up cattle, our cowboys needing to relax
and have a good time, that's the reason for country-
western music.
...

Collecting thoughts throughout the evening,
combining them with rhythms as they scoot
across minds.
...

Reverberating sounds teaching this mind how to move
and jive day in and day out, rallying into the midst
of a beautiful area of life right here.
...

Sounds of thunder being imitated by a drummer, an expert
in tempos that roll along dusty trails leading further
into portraits of this desert.
...

Quiet solitude penetrating a cold evening here
in the desert without you my love.

Feeling empty in a way, because you were always
...

Dancers limber and agile from dancing all night
long, having a great time, hearts pumping and
beating their own rhythms.
...
