Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Music For the Soul

From a city's hilltop ,
I gaze down there below
with lights in rhythmic hop;
notes bouncing to and fro...
on alleys where life croons
women dance as skirts fly;
and blues whip juggled tunes
sax cooling a flamed sigh!

...........
“Music washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life”---
Berthold Auerbach ~ poet and author ~
