Silent One Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Silent Nightingale

A rhapsody of
rock and roll rain,
tango twisting winds,
samba snow flakes, 
step, skip, 
spin and swing.

So the subdued sun 
remains solemnly shy 
as its orchestra of rays 
fail to compose.

Recalling 
vivid verdant visions, 
a promenade 
of naked trees tremble, 
serenading melancholic melodies.

On a bitter branch
a nightingale 
sits in silence.

Jean Murray March 19, 2018 at 6:08 AM My heart sank when I saw the word rhapsody, thinking you had entered Constance's contest Silent. No one has a chance against you. I love that song too.

Beautiful poem....bittersweet even, sharp and dry as 70% Dark Cacao Chocolate.Maybe Nightingale needs some honey. Leanne Lovejoy-Burton March 19, 2018 at 3:11 AM Favourite song of mine. He wasn't what they made him out to be.
