Melody Rules

The eastern horizon striped red and blue A crispness lingers from the night's cool Early morn, shrubs and grass sprinkles with dew A Mockingbird's clear notes' melody rules A single loud cricket chirps a chorus There is a peaceful feel to the porch's scene No sirens, bombs, wars, causing a loud fuss There is a time and quiet to softly dream If only man's internal being's peace Matched the scene of early morn's repose Life as a whole from wars would then cease More symphonies from man would be composed Finis' Sponsor: Kelly Deschler Contest: Not Just Any Old Quatrain Written: July 09-10, 2014

What a peaceful melody, Sara! For a moment we are caught in dawn's beauty; pity that this cannot be a lasting way of life. Congrats on a deserved win. // paul

Oh yes, Sara the symphony of life would sound so much better. I liked the way you composed this one. there are so many beautiful things in life for us to appreciate and love, but, if there were peace within man it could be magnificent. Very nice my friend... Robert.
