At the Theatre


At the Theatre 

by Robert Neest  


Below the shining ceiling spanned above 

Inside the tiny loges spread around 

A young girl with her mother sitting down 

Is waiting the beginning of the play. 


She’s wearing a new dress she bought last week 

With fancy haircut that she likes so much 

And rising from her seat with prying eyes 

She wants to see it all, to hear it all. 


Two ladies speaking loudly behind her, 

A sitting couple holding their hands, 

A group of standing men in front of her 

Are making a low murmur to expand. 


The chatting stops and all are sitting down, 

The lights are dimming everywhere around 

And leaning back in her soft cosy chair 

The girl can now relax, the play is on.

The Last Judge

The Last Judge by Robert Neest A strong and righteous man was living once Defeating all his foes on every time And everywhere he met them, fought and won, As many as they were, they always lost. The villains tried in many different ways Without succeeding to upset the man Until they paid a woman to find out The secret of the power that he had. She was a cunning and nice looking girl That after few attempts discovered how To make him lose his strength and let them take The honest man as their prisoner. They took him bound to their distant land And gathered all to celebrate the win While giving him the chance he didn’t miss To slay more than he ever did before.

Social Goals

  Social Goals by Robert Neest Since they are born, the people live in groups, They’re doing things together, interact, And their families, the school or work, Make marks on their lives on every day. We see so many times they can adjust And change themselves so they could fit and live As part of something bigger and enjoy The social pleasures of the human bonds. There are some cases when the persons try To be themselves and live as they would think It would be most appropriate for them And build a world where they would have a place. The history we learn is showing that The world has always changed since ancient times Because of people that just didn’t want To go along accepting what there was.

Boat At Sea

Boat At Sea  by Robert Neest  Below a blue and shiny summer sky  The azure water of the sea is clear  And gentle wind is coming from the shore  Creating tiny ripples all around.  The brown and wooden boat is moving slow  And sliding forward through the silent sea  With slight moves of the paddles driving it  While sail is tied with massive sailing knot .  A young and robust man is holding oars  With yellow straw hat covering his head,  A white short sleeve shirt showing his strong arms  And dressed with white long trousers, sitting down.  Next to the man, a woman leaning back  Is wearing a blue dress with untied hair  And looking in the distance breathing deep  Is smiling when she feels the mellow breeze.
