Doris Day

Doris Day

American.

Ohio 1922-

Actor, Singer, Animal rights activist.

Dancing her first choice

then discovered she had a voice.

Mimicking radio singing voices

giving herself assurances.

Singing lessons her next call

developed her voice overall.

Pitch, breathing, resonance

eventually achieving excellence.

Court battles, marriage, divorce

she certainly did the course.

Still around at ninety one

she never was outdone.

Groves v Gonzales

George Groves.
26 March 1988 (age 24).
Hammersmith, London, England.
Undefeated British & Commonwealth Super-middleweight champion
--------------------------------------
In junior kick boxing he makes his name
quickly achieving local fame.
claiming shyness made him fight
kicking and punching put this right.

Twice, senior ABA champ at his weight
ripping in punches hard and straight.
USA, Russia, Bosnia too
many medals he did accrue.

Then he turns to the professional stage
the real stuff, ready to engage.
Kirill Pshonko came to fight
Groves overwhelms him on the night.

James DeGale makes his claim
tough one this, the results the same.
George Groves with fourteen wins
he could be in for a long innings.

Futile

So many Bishops in the lords
for what these awards?
A childish belief in ancient tales
selling, acting, still prevails.

Dressed in Arab robes
financial mess undisclosed
lower ranks haven't a clue
where the money's going to.

Huge buildings, huge cost
the initial purpose lost.
charity for the poor
not so any more.

Blair conducts his illegal war
not one a force majeure.
Unelected, silent, perverse
remove them from the public purse.

Marta Shmatava

Marta Shmatava
Republic of Belarus
Minsk 1965-
Painter.
----
Born into an atmosphere of arts
father, man of many parts
scientist, artist, public person
for Marta no comparison.
Applied herself at the academy
liveliness of mind, esprit
with perestroika, individual pursuit
her distinctive style gains repute.
Mankind her central theme
colour dictates mood of scene
man and time, man and nature
often a symbolic adventure.

A magical tiny tot was he
soon proclaimed a prodigy
advanced use of shade, perspective

A painting of Istanbul’s Suleymaniye Mosque

a hundred thousand the whole sale raised
the young boy admired, praised.
