Cabaret Capture

FASCINATING BOOK COVERS

CABARET CAPTURE

Brown, the colour of fallen leaves,

Dampened into the ground by rain,

And an air of degeneration

And an epoch filled with pain.

The date of this cover is uncertain,

But the thirties come to mind,

When the German psyche was battered

And the future was unkind.

There was a crazy urge to go crazy!

Marlene set the tone.

'The Blue Angel' showed in cinemas

To the wail of the saxophone.

It was as though people actually knew it....

That theirs' was a dying age;

And they went about their living

With a kind of desperate rage.

Maybe it's my imagination;

Mine is only a cursory look.

But, even if I could read German,

I wouldn't want to read this book.

BLUE RAIN

The heaviness of beauty

Falling down.....

Liquid petals; blue-lit magic.
