November 29: Under Cover

November 29, 2014November 29, 2014 / libbyweber / Leave a comment

The film “All About Eve” skews our perception Of understudies, shown as base connivers- This melodrama is a misconception, For understudies truly are survivors; Eight shows a week they stand able and willing To fill their usual role or jump into The shoes of big names who receive top billing, And will be met with … Continue reading November 29: Under Cover

November 28: Kumbel

November 28, 2014May 28, 2015 / libbyweber / 4 Comments

It is a singular species of writer Whose poems makes my sonnets seem loquacious, And for their brevity shine all the brighter, Each filled with wit intensely perspicacious. For who needs fourteen lines when four express Eternal wisdom on preparing toast, Then followed by the key to artlessness, And giving old folk proverbs a riposte? … Continue reading November 28: Kumbel

November 27: Good Day, Sunshine

November 28, 2014May 28, 2015 / libbyweber / Leave a comment

This week has been the time for gratitude That things like health and love I've never lacked, But thankfulness for those does not exclude Appreciation for things less abstract, Like ample sleep and sunbeams prime for warming, And wearing shorts while at Thanksgiving feasts Prepared by those with whom I am performing, Whilst quoting lines … Continue reading November 27: Good Day, Sunshine

November 26: Circling

November 27, 2014November 28, 2014 / libbyweber / Leave a comment

When thinking on inevitable ends, It's easy to neglect the new beginnings, Just as a focus on one loss contends With gratitude for one's plentiful winnings. While evolution doubt will predispose, Through instinct and a bias negative That makes us see the spot and not the nose, We shall endure- we know what makes us … Continue reading November 26: Circling

November 25: Bequest

November 25, 2014February 9, 2015 / libbyweber / 1 Comment

Four flights to cross the country, none delayed Except for one that minimized my wait- The pros and cons, meticulously weighed Stayed equal, as if part of an estate That left behind good fortune during travel. It seems a luxury, yet in this case, One snag would make the complex trip unravel; Thus serendipity I … Continue reading November 25: Bequest

November 24: Memoriam

November 24, 2014 / libbyweber / 3 Comments

A celebrant quartet, three sects comprising, United by their love for the deceased, Sent offerings of ancient words arising, In celebration of her life surceased. A choir of friends, their voices raised in song, Gave of their music, hallowed ministry, While consecration with congregant tears And laughter celebrated memory. A heartfelt homily, solemn communion Of … Continue reading November 24: Memoriam

November 23: Red Eye

Ten minutes prior to boarding did they say That I would really, truly have a seat. At last, my lengthy trip was underway: Phase One I could potentially complete. Phase One concluded in the pouring rain, When hurried ambulation to the gate Ensured that I could board the Phase Two plane, Though once onboard we … Continue reading November 23: Red Eye

November 22: Eve of Travel

November 22, 2014 / libbyweber / Leave a comment

It's vexing when the body's frailty, Which cannot bear a paucity of slumber Without succumbing to a malady, Brings symptoms whose diversions will encumber. For who has time to sleep when there is singing Be it a Haydn mass or classic jazz, Or musicals that leave the spirits ringing- Experiencing fully what one has? Alas, … Continue reading November 22: Eve of Travel

November 21: No Problem

November 22, 2014 / libbyweber / Leave a comment

No Shakespeare text is wholly problem free, For even Hamlet must be saved at sea By too-convenient pirates at their pleasure- A text is not a play by any measure. A play's comprised of choices beyond number To smooth the moments that the words encumber, Defining character, gestures explaining In ways both truthful and yet … Continue reading November 21: No Problem

November 21: Are We There Yet?

November 21, 2014 / libbyweber / Leave a comment

A fearsome and delicious spirit, gin, Which soothes the tongue and warms the weary head, When mixed with quinine, makes a medicine Whose thaumaturgy's well-known and widespread. At least, that's what I'm choosing to believe, Unwinding from tonight's demanding show, But from my writing I get no reprieve- I cannot quit with just a month … Continue reading November 21: Are We There Yet?
