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.
