Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

Is Your Aria Born Alone

Is it first the
Music
And then the 
Words
Or do the 
Words 
Come first?
Elton John says it 
Works
Either way
Bob Dylan’s 
Words create
The meaning
That Ray Charles 
And
Jimi Hendrix 
Explode
Is all timing 
Real
Or just
Imagined?
Is the structure 
True or 
False?
Do your words 
Beget the 
Melody
Or is your 
Aria
 —born alone?

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

Daniel Turner July 12, 2018 at 3:29 PM IMO, the words come first but who could argue with Elton John. Perhaps one of the greatest songwriters of our time. Cool write, Kurt:)

Arturo Michael July 12, 2018 at 1:21 PM Good questions in your write...maybe the words and the music were picket from the same garden magically...All the best Kurt
