Embracing Poetry and Music

The day music and poetry
embraced, magic happened
inspiration in the dance
of words and notes

    rhythm, melodies and
    repetition plays with human
    emotions, touching the soul 

        sing me a sonnet, a ballad
        from you heart and I will
        hear a work of art

writing a quadrille of 44 words
incorporating the word "music"

  2. Yes, music does touch the soul. Or shakes it up,
    depends on what is playing.

  4. a sonnet a ballad from your heart
    and I will hear a work of art

    Certainly true, True! A poet invokes his mastery of poetry from the heart to produce classics. It makes it much easier when emotions are triggered off. Great narration Ma'am. Hank is ok. tq

  9. Wonderful poem.
    When I learned the genesis of LC's "Dance Me to the End of Love," I sill loved it, but it became a much more haunting melody. Well done.

  10. Beautiful. This is my favorite part:
    sing me a sonnet, a ballad
    from you heart and I will
