Song of My Heart

Song of My Heart Heart song, Midsummer dream, Intones sweet poetry, Love notes resolve in harmonies - Vespers Music, Weaves themes of joy, Transposes dawn and dusk Tableaus of half-notes bind lost chords - In tune Verses Winsome lyrics Tempos sing in duets, My song breathes in stanzas of sighs On key Refrains, Heart arias, Beat with mercy’s cadence Laughter chants a prelude to peace - Pure pitch Heartbeats Sing like love songs Strummed upon taut heartstrings Breathless choruses of downbeats - Heart songs 5-15-23 Contest: Song of My Heart Sponsor: JCB Burl Syllables checked with www.howmanysyllables

Thank you so much Jo! Being a musician this theme was so close to my heart. I think that writing haiku strings really helped in writing this cinquain string but, that being said, so grateful for your lovely feedback! :) Can't wait to see your cinquain. I know it will be marvelous! Sending you blessings of inspiration!
