Written: January 2nd, 2023, For Ink Empress Contest Rumi verse" Sing to me in the silence of your heart and I will rise up to hear your triumphant song" ________________________________________ Life is a symphonic cynosure a charming composition sung in tune noisily in tandem merriment liberates us spread the tunes of life a ready-made ubiquitous syntax moon voices Jukebox heart Iron harps croon the days I used to walk Elvis line in his heyday. Twilight dream orchestrator soars on silver wings across the eerie sea past raven-singing islets race the clock swap hourglass sand reset to our first trip, let's foster solid walls. Life is a bittersweet symphony. Love, laughter, and silent dreams In verses, rhythm begins Steering us via life's curveballs a calm ballad may be feasible dreamlike memory dusty paths to neon-lit roadways catching dreams, sailing weeping as a lone harp I'm queueing until death to travel as a country song via onomatopoeia syntax a metonymy, twangy melody. paint hope on breeze as moonlight amid trees or pearly umbrella stars dancing in cosmic black sea dark orchestra conductor revive ancient music until ivory beams last. Life is a melody to be sung play it gently as a drumbeat life serenade in riptide years notes strum cosmic tapestry links us to poetry spirits dance in unison, life is akin to writing a song, with our key and tone each life has a meaning, we pick the theme and chorus a song bearing our name an inclusive rhythm life's a tune.

Wow...really enchanting poem. For sure that life is a song and everybody sings, but sometimes some aren't noticed. Even like that, everybody sings for sure. "we pick the theme and chorus a song bearing our name an inclusive rhythm life's a tune" I really love this part. So true. Deep and touching

"spirits dance in unison, life is akin to writing a song, with our key and tone each life has a meaning, we pick the theme and chorus a song bearing our name" Each line is quotable. But the concluding lines are especially gorgeous. Into my FAVE

This poem beautifully captures the essence of life as a symphonic journey, a composition that harmonizes the highs and lows, joys, and challenges. The use of musical imagery, from 'moon voices Jukebox heart' to 'Iron harps croon the days,' adds a melodic quality to the verses.. skillfully navigates through various metaphors, creating a rich emotions. The contrast between the 'Twilight dream orchestrator' soaring on 'silver wings' and the 'dark orchestra conductor' adds depth to the exploration.

dear Sotto--this poem is exquisite in countless ways. Indeed, 'life is a song!' Your imagery (i.e., iron harps croon the day) are fabulous allowing me to see a different type of orchestra and hear its music. The overarching metaphor struck a chord with me (cosmic tapestry links us to poetry spirits dance in unison, life is akin to writing a song.) Yours is truly a masterpiece and one that I'm faving to return to and read again. Have a great day, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
