David Franks: Walkabouts Verse Online Now!	Dec 3 2009 6:27 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead. A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now. In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance. A...

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse Online Now!	Oct 8 2009 8:52 AM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements. The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage. Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens. Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry. And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse Online Now!	Jun 23 2009 7:36 PM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003
Taquinho Noronha	Mar 7 2009 11:21 PM Dan Quinn my dearest: Cordial thanks for having made our friendly and musical connection. You are a skillful accomplished musician and can play the heck of an accordion I've been hearing out your instrumental tunes displayed and all are lovely. Your rhythm is unique and an appeal to dancing, make sure that whenever you play these far-out tunes of yours at a dancing bash, not even wallflowers ladies will have a rest. I'm sort of bewitched by the swing of your music, you would be for certain a success to play dancing balls here in Brazil. Congratulations and good luck in your musical career. May you have spare time to go over to my provincial songs displayed here on My Space site, give a listen and send me your kind comments please. Winding up my statements I'm sending you a fraternal musical embrace from your Brazilian admirer, ever, Taquinho Noronha
