The Theme of Love

The Theme Of Love

A species creature flew downward
a half a million years ago
to find its nest and feed its young
to trudge on and repeat the day

their sounds emitted and were cast
into the air to echo far
into the dieties of sound
worshipped deep by motley hordes

and then the sound evolved in time
to Music, psalms and poetry
the Music was the theme of love
of its sadness and of its joy 

for poetry relates to see
the rythmn and the imagery
to sing out loud or stress a word
with syllables so lovingly

for they are walking hand in hand
to blend into anthology
where Music can accost a poem
and vice versa in return

A walk in the woods or by the beach is always good therapy, in my opinion. It can also be a learning experience as well as one of discovery, not to mention a healthy exercise. Again, thank you for reading my work. / M

Wow, you pull the reader in during the first verse and the history of (and love for) music ensues throughout. A truly excellent poem. Best wishes in Geraldine's contest, Ralph! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you, Carol: It was kinda difficult looking for my own theme. She is a tough contest giver but other poets are really good.
