Poetry Monday :: Opera

If you want to read some better  poetry,  Diane - who has taken over the hosting of  this challenge - and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings - who also supplies us with topics - are writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read.

  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month - may  we hope for more! I think this theme should entice her to participate. Meatloafs can be baked as well -- we often do.
  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.

  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is slowly returning to blogging after her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way. And dare we hope that she will join Poetry Monday again.

An opera is the strangest thing,
Where people never talk - they sing
And if a man is shot to death
He sings an ode with his last breath.

Oh sure I love the opera;
All those magic, mystic names
Mazeppa, Papageno, Vera,
Were among my early flames.

Alluring, tempting, magic,
is opera for me.
Romantic, comic, tragic,
I love them all, you see.

Next Monday's Topic: New Lease
