A Delightful Soul {solfege}

Lets start with DO (Dough}
Then go RA Me
I’m hillbilly as you can see
Little fa and a great big SO
LA is forever in my soul
TI as in time it is getting late
Do as in don’t forget your fate

DO 
     RA 
ME 
        FA 
SO 
        LA 
     TI 
DO

Put a w at the end of dough
D to b and you will have a bow
Since I have no idea what I try to do
A little shape in the middle for you
Start with it deep - End with it high
Find the sweet spot - And reach the sky
Dough on the bottom - Dough on the top
Master the scale the Dough doesn’t stop
The inventor of Solfege don’t you know
Is a beautiful person with a delightful soul


For Izzy's contest though I have no
idea at all if this is even in the ball
park at all.

I like that this contest got everybody to be so creative! This is a great poem! Congratulations on your placement in this contest! By the way, did you tend to make the DO, RE, MI, FA, SO, LA, TI, DO look like it was spelling out the letter D? It makes the poem look more perfect.

Looks like the winner to me but..........I can't understand it. I went and read about it but.....that didn't help me either. This is something way above my head. Good luck dear Michael in the contest. Love, Carol
