Best Musical Score Poems

Please sing me a song of love gone wrong
And I will weep in dreams while I sleep
For that's when I fear the cascade of tears
And melancholy brought on by such folly
Will you allow me to hear with my own ear
The grief of it all; the...

I see you
I am no fool
Like ravens over prey
You are keeping your eye on me
I see
With my one good eye
Your hunger
Salivating lips
My heart may stop beating
My arm feeling the pain of your grip
I laugh at you
You forgot to keep the musical score
As I wrote my...

I’m a stodgy old lady with suddenly too much time on her hands.
I was always too work worn to make big Halloween plans...

But as I walked thru Walgreen’s to get my latest meds…
I came up the isle to the You Know- Hoo Hoo of a...

This is not for any contest especially since I like better versions than the one sung by Glenn Hughes which is not much to my liking.  Furthermore, this is more in the region of commenting on the song rather than writing a poem about...

Life doesn’t happen with a musical score
accompanying our most dramatic scenes;
Beauty in a person is so much more
than what adorns the covers of our magazines.

Love and hate walks a very thin line,
it isn’t always so black and white;
When things get tough you can’t shout out,...

Is this Mozart's musical score
Or sonata of sounds I abhor?
I have a good ear
But I'd rather not hear
The loud notes composed when you snore...

I have a strong need to elucidate my unfathomable love for
You,
named JAZZ

The improvisational sound of ragtime and jive.
Bop to the bebop of your rhythmic stride.

O  what you do.
You,
named JAZZ

As I rouse everyday to harmonious sounds.
Melodies of synthesizers playing, sotto voce, with Caribbean tinkling drums...

Frightened tepid antisocial ant was football training avidly but failing to attend a fragrant tailor army. Oh dear. That was sure to be put forward to the sacred sanction ship and the sacred sanction ship was neither a scared shrew nor was it a...

Connor Constrictor 
crept through the carpet.
Marianne Marmot 
marched through the market
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
 
Tutu Toucan 
turned to and fro
while Wally Walrus 
watched in slow mo.
Singing, “Hi hey hi hey...

East west north or south which way should I go?
East West north or south, I just want to sing and shout
We have just had a nice little shower,
To cool down the boiling temperature, 
but it was not enough to subdued the stubborn hot weather
And the...

I’ll dance to your tune
Letting your rhythm flow through me
I’ll let your hand guide me
Your heart setting the beat

I will dance to your tune
Sometimes a slow dance
To fit your flirtatious mood
Sometimes a quickened pace
When your heart is racing
To capture the days
You were the King of...

Every senario
Every page in the historical record
Every musical score in Hollywood

Every newscast
Every front page
Every new tax
Every new price increase
Every new terrorist

Every new war
Every financial market crash
Every newly prescribed drug
Every football match

Every new beat on religious fervour
Every political answer
All the problems
And their solutions
Every new contribution

Every president,...

A prawn masquerading as a peanut can be quite disturbing. So many times a peel is a garment used to shroud. A tentacle hidden. Here and there. Then to reappear with an often violent burst of becoming. A burst of becoming is neither a beetle,...

An Afternoon Interlude.

It is a quiet afternoon, with the quiet burr of a furiously rotating overhead fan...
This office is empty, fellow workers are all off their posts for their lunch...
There is a bright glare from the sunlight outside, and  oppresive heat threatens...
It is another...

Her mind wanders back to happier times 
     Far beyond this day at the keyboard
          And the verses she had written in loneliness

Will he ever hear her song
