Waiting for Strauss


Are you waiting for Strauss
to take you to the Vienna Woods
by the Blue Danube,

Are you sweeping the floor
Sleeping in a bedroom now
beside the Blue Danube?

Maybe waiting for your son
to arrive from Peru;

He can get a job
lifting bottles in a pub
by the Blue Danube

Yes, I like waltzes, too
Dance with me in Vienna
by the Blue Danube!

Si Senor...go to Peru Kenny and taste the fresh green mountains full of ancient tales of mystery then return...give us the second taste in your poetry. Your verses are colored memories rich in character and beautiful to me.

These lines themselves form something of an elegant waltz, moving as they do between sweeping gestures of restrained passion, layered reflections, and what I like to call articulated music. Strauss, I think, would smile and nod happily at a poem such as this.

Ola! You waltz across the wooden dancefloor sprinkled with poetic sawdust, Kenny! Great update on your travels in poetry! Kick your heels together, "There's no place like home...." Dorothy and Toto miss you in your homeland. Bring back an Italian leather satchel full of stories and put them to rhyme. Remember, the cover shouldn't be more important than the book! Waiting for Strauss is where desire meets opportunity...there occurs the act, my good friend, Kenny. Sending all of my love inside those bottles in the pub! Stay in touch with your cosmic chaperone! Cheers!
