Notes About The Poem

A Fugue of Passing Fancies

an orchestrated night glitters 
to the wand wave of the maestro unborn
sweetness licks on liquorice sticks 
fingered on silver keys

the moon melts like a honey drop
as sopranos sing

in harmony the coyote calls
base notes cajoled by passing horns
meld as cicada rub the reeds
legging each sharped phrase
with intonations of delight

As a nature lover and a lover of poetry about nature I find this poem takes me outdoors to an intimate space where night sings
