Music, Memory, Poetry







     Do not of the past, think it be gone.
     Listen carefully to the lyrics still playing.
     The crescendoes satisfy your heart's deepest cravings.
     That poetic soul of yours constantly playing a song.


     Mother singing you sweet, angelic lullabies.
     The orchestra at your wedding, when you danced all night long.
     And at incensed funerals, heavenly chanting went sweetly on.
     All these floral notes~ hold them close, never to say goodbye!

Exactly, Tom....lyrics are great also. I grew up with only the radio. So I think rhyme is a great part of my Poetry. My Mom read poetry to me when I was very young.so I was able to recite poetry with ease! Pangie xx
