Music

My kryptonite is music So much so that a teal tune sticks in my head all day until I hear another to replace I find music in everything the way the phone rings how red tea kettle sings the beat of a flat tire the crackling of a blue fire Music in even your snore funny how you choke stop and hop to a beep bop The wailing of a baby’s cry Somber siren yellow and high Music in the leaky faucet drumming unique beats in the sink Music in the way a squirrel Scampers across the street Music in chemistry class so loud That indeed I did drop out Music in numbers too They unite to make a sound If I was a note what would I be An eighth a quarter C whole mystery Music can help and hinder my sleep Influencing my dreams sometimes depriving my sleep Yes music is my kryptonite And I say it’s alright.

Thanks Beata. I have an aunt who is deaf mute so I grew up appreciating hearing things maybe even FOR her. We are blessed by God to have all our senses.

Having music as kryptonite is a very wonderful thing. Even in "Influencing my dreams sometimes depriving my sleep", I think music has a beauty. Congratulations!

Amazing revelations of how to look at 'ordinary sounds of life' as Music! Fascinating angle on the topic, Karen. Best of good luck in the contest. Kudos, Gershon

This poem reminds me of a beautiful film August Rush. He hears music with every sound. You wrote a wonderful poem.
