Hovering

How many have ever heard the song "Somewhere in Time?"
       It's a song with only music and with no words or rhyme.
 "Fantasie Impromtu" is another one written by Chopin?  
       Also a song of rare beauty without words thrown in.
These two songs along with "Moonlight Sonata" were played by my son.
       He's an acomplished pianist who can play most any run.
He played these songs at my funeral last week.
       Don't be shocked all you people keep on sitting in your seat.
You Poetry Soup poets who are sitting there reading this write.
       Yes you!  Don't turn around and look behind you or look to the right!
Do you feel that erie feeling in your tummy right now?
       Well! It's because of me! I'm hovering over you somehow!
No don't look!  You won't see me. 
       My spirit is floating above your right shoulder freely.
I'm watching you read your poems.  Did you get some good comments today?
       Yes I saw where you wrote that beautiful verse, and that nice display!
You deserve that nice comment.  How about your soupmail?  Are there very many?
       Did someone tell you a secret?  Remember!  I won't tell and I know a plenty!
I've been watching you on Poetry Soup for hours writing your poems that rhyme.
       You're writing about love and mysteries, about cat tails, building spaceships and rhyme 
        time!
You're writing of happy new year, time warps, romantic longings and betrayals and how do 
        you do it,
       One of you says your poems are like children to you, one writes of beautiful women 
        with wit
And one of you even wrote of hanging berries!  And all of these wonderful poems I've read.
        I have hovered over many of you and you never even knew I was dead,  
Such wonderful talented writers we have on Poetry Soup. 
       Everyone writes his own style that belongs to this group.
So take heed when you sit down to write a new rhyme.
       And know that someone's watching you write all this time.
And when you feel that erie feeling in your tummy right now.
       Well!  It's because of me!  I'm hovering over you somehow!

Hehe! IC. Creative write, Marty, very nice. And how wonderful your son is such an accomplished pianist. By the way, "Moonlight Sonata" is from Ludwig Van Beethoven. "Fantasie Impromptu" indeed is from Chopin. See, I play the piano too and teach lessons out of my home. Inspiring write and dedication to poetrysoup poets, very well written. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your comment on my poem today. Best wishes, Caroline.

This is beautiful, Marty! The imagery, the flow. Captivating write! No fear felt here, Marty because I believe you are an angel-seriously. Keep hovering. We don't mind. Just stay here on earth for a while yet. We still need you! Great job! Have a beautiful day! God bless. Peace and love to you. Audrey

Wow, you really had me on the edge of my seat here, Marty. I read much spiritual and paranormal literature and have the feeling you are "hovering" over me as I write this note. (Love the reference to Jared Pickett's poems about beautiful women!!) We certainly do have some talented writers here and you are one of them. Love, Carolyn
