Endless Days

Anyone noticing?
Where are the tips in the case?
How many endless days?

Tourist Town Music

by Julaina Kleist-Corwin

Close to water’s edge
Musical multitasker,
Pied Piper disguised.

Our Town

By Marilyn Slade

Our town is magnetic
It draws, seduces hundreds every day
with rockabilly country music
played by a bushy bearded guitar strummer
who delights, refreshes and sooths townies and visitors

Here furry little dogs lead shoppers to boutique doors
painted in come-hither colors
facades of original brick, coffee shops
where mocha lattes are served under red umbrellas

Our town has charm, beauty, pulses with energy
Bright sun, soft showers serve to accent
the royal blues and brilliant yellows of the businesses
in contrast with the gritty grey city that looms in the distance
like a smoke filled skeleton

Did Petula Clark sing the song “Downtown?”
“Forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go….?”

Minstrel

by Camille DeFer Thompson

Guitar, drum, whistling
Harmonica. Wharf minstrel
Trades music for coin

Busking

by Jordan Bernal

Music is my life
With head, hands, and feet I play
Busking for your coin!

I Play

by Linda Todd

I play my harmonica
For tourists awaiting the ferry.
I play my guitar
For locals out for a stroll.
I beat my drums for teens after school.
I play for mothers pushing baby buggies
For lovers walking hand in hand
For businessmen in suits.
But mostly I play for me.
