Chartreuse Chanteuse ~*Marge Tindal*~ Silky, sultry croon of tune She belts the favorites out Sequined siren of the song Slow and low - blues no doubt Skylark on note takes flight Across the airways of the night Slowly she sings as circles ring cascading o'er the smoke-filled scene Ivory keys soulfully tarry as velvet voice is gently carried over the radio - over the sea Men in trenches catch the spark Chartreuse chanteuse sings Skylark Such soft gentle sighs - they pause to visualize the siren of the night that brings Skylark home - home again ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Beautiful poem! Can picture her and hear her very clearly through your words. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

PoeMinister~ Oh, hon ... these songstresses of their time could send the warmth of loved ones at home, to our men across the sea. I am an ardent admirer of the chanteuses of the 40's era. Thank you for your reply. Paula~ Thank you. Sunny would probably enjoy the siren songs of the chanteuses. They clearly could sing the messages of home and loved ones. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This is magic....and the song immediately flew into my head, just as you knew it would! Hugs, Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

You brought back warm and cruel memories here. How VERY important those songs were to those of us in the 'Nam. If only we had been thought of in those terms, by our countrymen, instead of despised. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Karilea~ I do know - and that's how it came - singing it's way into this piece. So pleased to know you enjoyed. JanetMarie~ Thank ya', gal ! The songs of the war era just keep playing in my mind. Those were some fantastic ladies with those wonderful ladies. InterLoper~ The songs were sung in the hearts of LOTS of us fellow Americans. Believe me when I say that mine has always sung with praise for ALL who served. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Vicky~ Now why would I just KNOW that you'd have a set of these wonderful tunes ? I could listen to them all through the night. And if you've got a rendition of this hauntingly lovely Skylark ... you are living right ! Is it no wonder that our service pilots named many of their aircraft after this lovely melody ? The tiniest bird with the loveliest song - certainly was symbolic for those lovely voices of the chantreuses. So glad to have you tuned in with this one. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
