Notes About The Poem

Writing A Poetic Rhapsody

Ideas of an orchestral poem have spilled onto a page.
The story is tuneful and very poetic at this very stage.
A poem to be a rhapsody, of instruments with violins.
Instruments take shape, and as the symphony begins.

The tempo builds, with brightest intensity to engage.
Words follow the beat, to a crescendo of intense rage.
Now, as the kettle drums implode within their skins.
The conductor is in full control, as his baton spins.

The percussion again, joins, as the woodwind slows.
lyrics soften, and the flute’s melody gently flows.
The story is tuneful and very poetic at this very stage.
Ideas of an orchestral poem have spilled onto a page.

I feel like a poet in training dearest Anaya. My time is limited, so it may take a while for me to show any talent again, but I will pop in when ever time allows. The enticement of being amongst people like you will always draw me back.

Thanks Gary. Its funny how so many appreciate the rhyme in my poems, yet rhyming comes with no effort to me, so I think of it as such a small achievement.
