Melodious Verse is a poem from my book Melodious Verse 2009 and the anthology Fractured Light 2024. This is a free verse ARS Poetica on the eternal life of the written word and its ability to live beyond the author, or the author’s inspiration. It is written in 83 words. Centered for aesthetic symmetry the image is by me Josehf Lloyd Murchison.

Melodious Verse The sweet joy of emotions lived eternal upon the page. A moment suspended in time by the muses of a melodious heart. Overflowing with life’s winsome passions lived. Life’s woeful sorrows endured. The touch of the morning sun upon ones face or a lovers kiss upon the lips. The sweet sent of a flower or the sight of a raptor in flight. The bittersweet tears of a long lost love. This made eternal to be relived upon recitation of verse. This is Poetry. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison
