Andrea Dietrich Poet Kyrielle

Sweet Music To My Ears

We’re at the beach where seagulls soar.
All nature and sun’s warmth bring bliss.
I hear soft waves that lap the shore.
Sweet music to my ears is this.

At home, my cats lie next to me.
When cats are happy, they don’t hiss.
Mine sofly purr contentedly.
Sweet music to my ears is this.

The children are asleep in bed.
Their rowdiness I do not miss!
Sound’s silence falls on me instead.
Sweet music to my ears is this.

It’s late and time for some romance.
But first before we even kiss,
a favorite song for our slow dance -
Sweet music to my ears is this!

Paul Callus February 16, 2019 at 8:15 AM A lovely Kyrielle, Andrea! The repeated line is very effective. I love these types of forms which require repetition of lines, as long as they are ably done. Regards // paul
