Symphonic Nightfall


Soft piccolo chirps,
Lovely flutes hoot in the trees;
Cricket violins.
*
Cricket violins,
The field oboes howl with grace;
Under soft moonlight. 
*
Under soft moonlight,
Percussion hooves beat the woods;
Symphonic nightfall.

This is excellent. Your creativity is at work. This piece flows very well, and intensifies as it flows. Great job! ~Joseph

This is a lovely portrayal (though I wouldn't call it choka). The repetition takes that villanelle approach and adapts it to a new form in an intelligent and inspired way. What is great though is the fact that you capture the music within the poem which gives a unity with the theme.
