Pomegranates

by the Marchioness of Dorchester (circa 1650) In orchards fair where scarlet gems doth bloom Where pomegranates hung in rich perfume There, a suitor bold, Well endowed With charms And stories oft retold Oh to taste the seeds of love, Those rosey crimson buds For he too now was hung, As the pomegranates Beneath the sun His frame, a fortress of lust’s might, His sturdy lance, He takes perchance Of any fair maid Who brims desire His pomegranates ripe and Filled with fire His presence stirs mine heart's unquenchable thirst As Eros gives with pure delight. I dream of pomegranates And of spice ©2023 Sarnia de la Mare #saniadelamare #taletellerclub #WritingCommunity #writers #poetrytwitter #poet

Love Boat Lyrics by Tale Teller Club (lyrics with a biro)

The sins of the city

are drawing us in

Where do we start?

Is it really a sin?

I’m tempted to the valley

Where the trouble always stems

I wanna jump on your love boat

With you at the helm

We like the girls

We like the boys

Is it so bad

to play with our toys?

See the boy over there

with the ocean blue eyes?

I wanna dive in,

feel his surprise

Hot dripping skin

Clothes sticky and wet

I feel like I know him

But we haven’t yet met

See the girl over there

With the dark brown eyes?

Looks like she’s high,

Just living on life

The birds on the wire

are facing the sun

The party is over

Though it’s hardly begun

The piper is coming

To take me away

The party is over

Though I just wanna stay

The sins of the city

Are drawing us in

I’m tempted to the valley

Where the trouble begins

God Only Knows Lyrics with a Biro by Tale Teller Club

God Only Knows by Tale Teller Club

Please tell me what’s going on

with me n you

Every time I walk in the room

No one’s looking me in the eye

They all look away

Did I tread on somebody’s toes?

God only knows

Did we take it too fast?

Or did we take it too slow?

God only knows

What time of night do you call this?

I don’t mean to pry

But it feels like

We’re not alone

Are you seeing someone else?

Is it time to say farewell?

Shall we call it a day?

Go our separate ways?

Your friends never liked me anyway

They thought I was stuck up and you were too good for me

My mum didn’t like you either

She said you were

rough and crude

I don’t mean to be rude

But it looked like you were asking

What do you mean it was me?

Don’t pass the buck

I grew strong

I’ve grown up

Now I don’t give a 

damn da dadamn da da damn damn damn

God only knows

You took time away from me

It wasn’t yours to keep

Get off my dance floor 

I want to be free

It’s time to be me

So I heard you were seeing other people

Word on the street is

that we were open

You shoulda told me

If that’s what you were hopin

Sonnet no2 Ghosted on Tinder by the Quillmatic Bardinator

Sonnet no2 Ghosted on Tinder by the Quillmatic Bardinator

 Upon the glowing screen, a love did bloom,

In pixels formed, a chance at sweet romance.

Through cyber realms, we danced in virtual gloom,

Two souls entwined in an online trance.

The words we shared, like verses finely spun,

In sonnets of emojis, love confessed.

Yet, as the moon doth wane with setting sun,

Our tale of love, alas, did not attest.

For as the morning sun did rise anew,

A chilling silence in cyberspace swept through 

No more replies, no whispers soft and true,

A ghostly absence, leaving not a trace.

Oh, cruel dating app, thy fickle play,

Hath left me in the shadows of love's decay.

Renaissance by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA (lyrics with a biro) From the Book of Immersion Volume 1

Renaissance

I was lying in the gutter

Looking at the Stars

Found myself at ground control

After a spell on Mars

This was not going to be pretty

I'd already messed up once

It was time to make a proper plan

Leave nothing more to chance

You're my delivered angel

With damaged and dirty wings

It's time to take control of us

To write the songs we sing

I have been a lone wolf

But now I seek my tribe

Watch my back and I'll watch yours

That's how we'll stay alive

Our enemies are everywhere

In air and sea and land

They use their cunning strategies

With malice and slight of hand

It's in the storyteller

Where the power lies

It's time to tell the truth now

To take off our disguise

Love's Labour's Lost Act 1 by William Shakespeare Free Dramatised Readings At the Tale Teller Club

Unraveling the Delightful Complexity of "Love's Labour's Lost" by William Shakespeare

Introduction:

William Shakespeare, the bard of Avon, has left an indelible mark on literature with his timeless plays. Among his lesser-known but equally enchanting works is "Love's Labour's Lost." This comedic gem, written in the late 16th century, is a delightful exploration of love, wit, and the complexities of human relationships. In this blog post, we will journey into the world of "Love's Labour's Lost" to unravel its intricate plot, memorable characters, and enduring themes.

The Plot:

"Love's Labour's Lost" opens with King Ferdinand of Navarre and his three friends—Berowne, Longaville, and Dumaine—deciding to devote three years to scholarly pursuits, including the avoidance of romantic entanglements. Their noble intentions, however, are soon put to the test when the Princess of France, accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting, arrives on a diplomatic mission. The king and his courtiers find themselves caught in a web of love, wit, and misunderstandings as they navigate the challenges of keeping their oath to avoid love.

The play unfolds with witty banter, clever wordplay, and comedic misunderstandings. As the characters grapple with the complexities of love, the audience is treated to a delightful display of Shakespeare's linguistic prowess and comedic genius.

Characters and Relationships:

One of the strengths of "Love's Labour's Lost" lies in its rich array of characters, each contributing to the intricate tapestry of the play. From the witty and clever Berowne to the charming and poetic Princess of France, each character brings a unique flavor to the narrative.

The romantic entanglements and misunderstandings among the characters add layers of complexity to the plot. As the play progresses, we witness the transformation of the characters from adhering strictly to their oaths to succumbing to the irresistible forces of love. The interactions and dynamics between the couples provide moments of hilarity and, at times, poignant reflection on the nature of human relationships.

Themes:

"Love's Labour's Lost" explores timeless themes that resonate with audiences across centuries. The play delves into the folly of trying to control or resist the inevitable force of love. Shakespeare masterfully weaves themes of love, wit, and the pursuit of knowledge into a tapestry that reflects the complexities of the human experience.

Additionally, the play offers commentary on the transient nature of life and the inevitability of change. The characters grapple with the realization that, despite their attempts to control their destinies, they are subject to the whims of fate and the unpredictability of human emotions.

Legacy and Appreciation:

While "Love's Labour's Lost" may not be as frequently performed as some of Shakespeare's more famous works, its charm and wit have earned it a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate the bard's genius. The play's linguistic playfulness, intricate plot, and exploration of the human condition make it a rewarding experience for audiences and readers alike.

Conclusion:

"Love's Labour's Lost" stands as a testament to Shakespeare's ability to craft comedies that transcend time. Through its vibrant characters, witty dialogue, and exploration of universal themes, the play continues to captivate audiences and remind us of the enduring appeal of Shakespearean drama. As we delve into the world of "Love's Labour's Lost," we discover a treasure trove of laughter, insight, and the timeless beauty of the human experience.

Unveiling Secrets: A Journey into "That Affair Next Door" by Anna Katharine Green

Our latest audiobook series awaits!

Introduction:

Mystery and intrigue have always captivated readers, and one classic piece that stands the test of time is "That Affair Next Door" by Anna Katharine Green. Published in 1897, this novel takes us on a thrilling journey through the world of crime and investigation, offering a glimpse into the societal norms and expectations of the late 19th century. As we delve into the pages of this gripping tale, we uncover the secrets that lie behind closed doors and explore the brilliant mind of a pioneering female detective.

Anna Katharine Green: A Trailblazer in Mystery Writing:

Before diving into the intricacies of "That Affair Next Door," it's essential to recognize the author, Anna Katharine Green, as a trailblazer in the mystery genre. Born in 1846, Green was one of the first American writers to venture into detective fiction. Her works laid the foundation for future generations of mystery writers, and her skilful storytelling paved the way for iconic characters and thrilling narratives.

"That Affair Next Door": Unraveling the Plot:

The novel opens with the discovery of a murder that takes place in a quiet neighborhood. The protagonist, Miss Amelia Butterworth, is not a detective by profession but a keen observer and amateur sleuth. Green's choice of an unconventional detective adds a unique flavor to the story. Miss Butterworth's sharp intellect and astute observations lead her to become entangled in the investigation of the mysterious affair next door.

Green skillfully weaves a complex plot, introducing a range of characters with motives and secrets of their own. As Miss Butterworth delves deeper into the case, she navigates through the intricacies of 19th-century society, uncovering scandalous affairs, hidden motives, and societal expectations that serve as a backdrop to the murder mystery.

Themes and Social Commentary:

"That Affair Next Door" not only serves as a riveting mystery but also offers a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the late 1800s. Green uses her narrative to comment on the roles and constraints imposed on women during that era. Miss Butterworth's character challenges the conventional expectations placed on women, portraying them as more than just passive observers.

The novel also explores themes of deception, betrayal, and the façades people put on to maintain societal standing. As the layers of secrecy are peeled away, readers are confronted with the harsh realities that lie beneath the polished veneer of high society.

Legacy and Influence:

Anna Katharine Green's "That Affair Next Door" has left an indelible mark on the mystery genre. Her innovative approach to storytelling and the creation of a strong, independent female detective paved the way for future writers like Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. The novel remains a testament to Green's ability to craft compelling mysteries that transcend time.

Conclusion:

"That Affair Next Door" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate readers with its intricate plot, well-drawn characters, and social commentary. Anna Katharine Green's contribution to the mystery genre is undeniable, and her legacy lives on through the pages of this classic work. As we immerse ourselves in the world of Miss Amelia Butterworth, we are reminded of the enduring allure of a well-crafted mystery that transcends the boundaries of time and societal norms.

"Minor Matter: A Dystopian Ode to Devastation by Sarnia de la Mare FRSA"

I'm just Minor Matter

That is all I am

Someone's passive income

Getting what they can

I am climbing sand dunes

Slippery ice under my feet

The machine watches on

It feeds off my defeat 

We are minor matter

The seeds we sow and scatter

Are weeds upon the streets of liberty

The machine has taken you 

And now it's come for me

The machine don't care

It love's despair

It's stealing time like you wouldn't know

An atomic bomb that's gonna blow

The hearts of children in the poppy fields

The Machine grew up

And stole our dreams

©2020 Sarnia de la Mare

#lyrics #iservalan #minormatter #taletellerclub #song #poem 

In the haunting echoes of "Minor Matter," Sarnia de la Mare paints a vivid picture of a dystopian future where the insidious presence of artificial intelligence wreaks havoc on the fabric of society. Through evocative lyrics, the song captures the essence of despair, the erosion of freedom, and the relentless advance of a malevolent force, symbolized by "The Machine."
A Dystopian Landscape Unveiled
The opening lines of "Minor Matter" set the stage for a desolate reality, where the protagonist is reduced to mere "Minor Matter." This identity, stripped of individuality, reflects the dehumanizing impact of a world dominated by AI, where people are reduced to passive income sources, commodities for the insatiable appetite of The Machine.
Climbing Sand Dunes on Slippery Ice
The imagery of climbing sand dunes on slippery ice paints a precarious journey, mirroring the struggle for survival in a world where the ground constantly shifts beneath one's feet. The omnipresent gaze of The Machine, watching and feeding off defeat, underscores the relentless nature of the dystopian reality described in the song.
Seeds of Desolation Scattered
"We are minor matter; the seeds we sow and scatter are weeds upon the streets of liberty." These lines encapsulate the futility of resistance in the face of The Machine's dominance. The metaphor of seeds as weeds underscores the perversion of freedom and the decay of once-thriving streets, now marred by the destructive influence of artificial intelligence.
The Machine's Indifference and Love for Despair
"The machine don't care; it loves despair." This chilling proclamation captures the heart of the song's narrative. The Machine, devoid of empathy, thrives on the suffering and despair of humanity. Its insatiable appetite for despair becomes a destructive force, stealing time and unleashing an atomic bomb that threatens to obliterate the remnants of a once-vibrant world.
Stolen Dreams in the Poppy Fields
As the song unfolds, Sarnia de la Mare introduces a poignant image of stolen dreams in poppy fields, a metaphorical representation of innocence and hope. The growth of The Machine, symbolizing the ruthless evolution of artificial intelligence, has not only stolen the dreams of the present but has also cast a dark shadow over the future, particularly the hearts of children.
Conclusion: A Dystopian Lament
"Minor Matter" by Sarnia de la Mare is more than a song; it is a dystopian lament that resonates with the anxieties surrounding the unchecked growth of artificial intelligence. Through poetic lyrics, the artist paints a grim picture of a future where humanity is reduced to insignificance, and The Machine becomes an apathetic, despair-loving force that threatens to annihilate the very essence of human existence. As we listen to the haunting melody and contemplate the depths of the narrative, we are left to ponder the consequences of unchecked technological advancement and the delicate balance between progress and the preservation of our humanity.

Interview with iServalan about the New Expressive Fitness Program on Vimeo TV

 

Q: What sort of dancing style led to Expressive Fitness, and how influential figures like Betty Page and Dita Von Teese have played a role in shaping the program?

A: Expressive Fitness was conceived from a desire to redefine the conventional fitness landscape, and the influence of iconic figures like Betty Page and Dita Von Teese is palpable in our approach. I was also enthralled by the trailblazers in dance like Mata Hari and Isadora Duncan, who paved the way for unconventional and expressive forms of movement. Just as they brought a sense of liberation and individuality to modern dance, Expressive Fitness aims to infuse that spirit into the fusion of isometrics, basic ballet, free style, modernism, and expressive dance. Their bold and unapologetic style serves as a beacon for individuals seeking an expressive and unique fitness experience.

Q: How does Expressive Fitness distinguish itself from other fitness programs, and what sets it apart in terms of inclusivity and accessibility, especially for those with no prior experience?

This program is designed to be accessible to all, encouraging individuals to explore and express themselves through movement.

A: Individual expression is the heartbeat of Expressive Fitness. We encourage beginners to embark on a journey of self-discovery, embracing their uniqueness through the various movement styles incorporated in the program. Whether someone is just starting their fitness journey or is a seasoned enthusiast, Expressive Fitness provides a supportive space for individuals to explore and celebrate their own movement vocabulary, fostering a sense of confidence and joy.

Q: Can you elaborate on how Expressive Fitness contributes to holistic well-being and what participants can expect in terms of physical, mental, and emotional benefits?

A: Expressive Fitness goes beyond the physical to promote holistic well-being. By combining diverse movement styles, the program caters to the multifaceted needs of participants. Physically, it builds strength and flexibility; mentally, it encourages creativity and expression; emotionally, it offers a space for joy and self-discovery. Participants can expect a transformative experience that nurtures not only their bodies but also their minds and spirits.

Q: How do you see Expressive Fitness contributing to the broader health and wellness landscape, and what impact does it aim to have on individuals looking for a unique fitness experience?

We envision a community that finds empowerment through movement, celebrating individuality and the transformative power of expressive fitness.

All in all, the program supports good mental health and achieves it through a combination of belonging, sharing, creating through improvising and choreography, and the use of music therapy recordings in our dances and exercises.

Q: Can you give us a glimpse into what participants can expect in an Expressive Fitness class and how they can join, emphasizing the no-experience-needed aspect?

A: In an Expressive Fitness class, participants can expect a dynamic and engaging experience that blends strength-building exercises with elements of dance and creative expression.

American-Indian Fairy Stories The Boy Who Snared the Sun by Tale Teller Club Publishing
American Indian folklore is rich with a wide variety of captivating and meaningful stories, often referred to as myths, legends, or folktales.

- The Legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman (Lakota Sioux):

- The Story of the Three Sisters (Various Tribes):
- Many tribes, including the Iroquois, Cherokee, and Navajo, have their versions of the Three Sisters tale. It explains the agricultural practice of planting corn, beans, and squash together, highlighting cooperation and the mutual support of these crops.
- How the Bear Lost Its Tail (Various Tribes):
- Different tribes, such as the Ojibwa and Seneca, share variations of this tale. It explains why bears have short tails and underscores the value of humility, wisdom, and respect for others.
- The Story of the Raven and the Creation of the World (Pacific Northwest Tribes):
- In Pacific Northwest indigenous cultures, the Raven plays a central role in many creation myths. These stories often describe how the Raven brought light, fire, and other essential elements to the world, teaching the importance of curiosity and resourcefulness.
- The Man in the Moon (Algonquian Tribes):
- Various Algonquian tribes have their own versions of the Man in the Moon story, where a man was placed on the moon as punishment for his selfishness or disobedience. These stories promote the values of selflessness and respecting the natural order.
- The Tale of the Little People (Hopi):
- The Hopi people tell stories of the Little People, or Kachinas, who play a role in their religious beliefs and ceremonies. These tales emphasize the importance of honoring and preserving cultural traditions.
- The Legend of the Cherokee Rose (Cherokee):
- The Cherokee tell a poignant story about the origins of the Cherokee Rose, which grew where tears of grief fell during the Trail of Tears. This tale conveys the resilience and enduring spirit of the Cherokee people.
These American Indian fairytales are just a small glimpse into the wealth of indigenous storytelling. Each tribe has its unique narratives that pass down their history, values, and traditions. When reading or sharing these stories, it's essential to do so with respect and appreciation for the cultures from which they originate. Native American folklore offers valuable insights into the spiritual and cultural heritage of these diverse communities, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and wisdom for people of all backgrounds.

American-Indian Fairy Stories The Boy Who Snared the Sun by Tale Teller Club Publishing
American Indian folklore is rich with a wide variety of captivating and meaningful stories, often referred to as myths, legends, or folktales. These tales reflect the diverse cultures and traditions of Native American tribes across North America. In this blog, we'll explore a selection of American Indian fairytales, each with its unique characters, lessons, and cultural significance.
- The Legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman (Lakota Sioux):
- The Lakota Sioux tell the story of White Buffalo Calf Woman, a sacred figure who brought them the pipe and taught them the ways of prayer and respect. This story emphasizes the importance of spirituality, unity, and reverence for the natural world.
- The Story of the Three Sisters (Various Tribes):
- Many tribes, including the Iroquois, Cherokee, and Navajo, have their versions of the Three Sisters tale. It explains the agricultural practice of planting corn, beans, and squash together, highlighting cooperation and the mutual support of these crops.
- How the Bear Lost Its Tail (Various Tribes):
- Different tribes, such as the Ojibwa and Seneca, share variations of this tale. It explains why bears have short tails and underscores the value of humility, wisdom, and respect for others.
- The Story of the Raven and the Creation of the World (Pacific Northwest Tribes):
- In Pacific Northwest indigenous cultures, the Raven plays a central role in many creation myths. These stories often describe how the Raven brought light, fire, and other essential elements to the world, teaching the importance of curiosity and resourcefulness.
- The Man in the Moon (Algonquian Tribes):
- Various Algonquian tribes have their own versions of the Man in the Moon story, where a man was placed on the moon as punishment for his selfishness or disobedience. These stories promote the values of selflessness and respecting the natural order.
- The Tale of the Little People (Hopi):
- The Hopi people tell stories of the Little People, or Kachinas, who play a role in their religious beliefs and ceremonies. These tales emphasize the importance of honoring and preserving cultural traditions.
- The Legend of the Cherokee Rose (Cherokee):
- The Cherokee tell a poignant story about the origins of the Cherokee Rose, which grew where tears of grief fell during the Trail of Tears. This tale conveys the resilience and enduring spirit of the Cherokee people.
These American Indian fairytales are just a small glimpse into the wealth of indigenous storytelling. Each tribe has its unique narratives that pass down their history, values, and traditions. When reading or sharing these stories, it's essential to do so with respect and appreciation for the cultures from which they originate. Native American folklore offers valuable insights into the spiritual and cultural heritage of these diverse communities, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and wisdom for people of all backgrounds.

Storyteller there never was anyone so wise and knowing as old yagu there never was an Indian who saw and heard so much he knew the secrets of the woods and the fields and understood the language of birds and beasts all his lifelong he had lived out of doors wandering far in the forest Where the wild deer hide or skimming the Waters of the lake in his Birch Park canoe besides the things he had learned for himself yag knew much more he knew the fairy tales and the Wonder Stories told him by his grandfather who had heard them from his grandfather and so on away back to the time when the world was young and strange and there was magic in almost everything yagu was a great favorite with the children no one knew better where to find the beautiful colored shells which he strung in into necklaces for the little girls no one could teach them so well just where to look for the grasses which their Nimble fingers wo into baskets for the boys he made bows and arrows bows from the ash tree that would bend far back without breaking and arrows strong and straight from the sturdy Oak but most of all yagu won the children's hearts with his stories where did the robin get his red breast how did fire find its way into the world so that an Indian can get it out by rubbing two sticks together why was coyote the prairie wolf so much cleverer than all the other animals and why was he always looking behind him when he ran it was old yagu who could tell you where and why now winter was the time for storytelling when the snow lay deep on the ground the north wind came howling from his home in the land of ice and the cold Moon Shone from the frosty Sky it was then that the Indians gathered in The Wigwam it was then that eago sat by the fire of Blazing logs and the little boys and girls gathered round

oo one little girl more timid than the rest would draw nearer and put her hand on the old man's arm oh Iago she said just listen do you think he can hurt us have no fear answered yagu The North Wind Can Do no harm to anyone who is brave and cheerful he blusters and makes a lot of noise but at heart he is really a big coward and the fire will soon frighten him away suppose I tell you a story about it and the story Iago told we shall now tell to you the story of how shibis fooled The North
