Poem is Like Music

Each word a note, a quiet song,
lines rise and fall where hearts belong.
Pauses hum as loudly as the sound,
meaning dances, turning all around.
Rhythm threads through every heartbeat
and soul and melody at last meet.

Panagiota Romios Date: 8/27/2025 5:34:00 PM Hi Rowena, I so agree with you. I love to sing. However most songs rhyme, i cannot sing without rhyme. My Mon started reading poens to me whe I was three. after that game, the music of World War II and music with more rhyme all I’m trying to say is I tend to write and rhyme a lot? For me to write in free, almost impossible, but I do it on occasion.. yours is delightful.yet lyrical.Cool! Pangie whxx aggressive Login to Reply
