Terry Miller Poet Free verse

A Symphony of Nine

Our capacity appears to be
a maximum of nine symphonies
Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler; Dvorák too
bravely tried to go beyond the ninth
before early, they all passed away.
The list; longer than those mentioned here;
composers; who never wrote to ten.
Was nine the limit of their vision?
Or, can we not comprehend a tenth?

Sally Eslinger May 14, 2021 at 1:50 PM Terry, hi! Nice to meet you, your thoughts, your poetry. I hadn’t realized this. Quite thought provoking. I shall have to mention it to Puccini — he is in my heavenly booster club. So glad painters, poets & choreographers don’t have the same block. I did quit writing for 35 yrs,but began again. Super writing! Terry Miller May 15, 2021 at 1:20 AM Hi Sally, nice to meet you too and for your kind words. I have only been writing poetry for a few months, one New Years' resolution I actually kept! I enjoy entering the poetry competitions here, not to win, but it is satisfying when that happens, but it is allowing me to explore the various poetry types.
