Premium MemberPianist or Poet


                 Gotta get the kinks out of his keyboard
                   warm up well before he performs

                 Like a fencer plays with the tip of his sword
                    sets his fingers to fly like a unicorn ...

                 Ah, but that's simple: it’s a pianist, you say
                    poets don’t speed along their way 

                 Consider this, though, my newfound friend ~
                    poets race their thoughts as they round the bend


Premium MemberLife Is Like A Violin's Sound

As the maestro meticulously draws sound from the strings,
Feelings and sensations the music brings.
A skilled violinist performing with skill,
Can lull your heart and make it still.

The maestro has a story to tell,
And with his violin he tells it well.
Quickly rising with a higher pitch,
Then fallings again as in a ditch.

Bow across strings faster and faster,
A building crescendo by the master.
Then the soothing of a softer sound,
A sense of release the artist has found.

It’s much like life with its ups and downs,
A revealing balance of smiles and frowns.

Premium MemberMusings On Poesy

Poesy and song are all about
     rhythm and flow, and tunes and tones; 
how every rise and fall throughout
     make melody within the zones            
and forms of verse without fade-out               
     to listener's tympanic bones.      

Measure’s a trick of deft poets,
     who know the cadence of their feet
gives lines their tempo. And so it’s
     like Poesy’s pulsating heartbeat;
it’s hypnotic (and you know it’s
     rhythmic),—so feel its potent beat.

Together, Poesy's clear measure
     (the crests and troughs of its music,
the highs and lows of its leisure)
     can roar like a score symphonic, 
an orchestra of high pleasure  
     with counterpoint so harmonic!

Premium MemberThe Tempo of Life

The Tempo of Life

Like metronome just pacing time,
      the years click slowly by;
   adagietto overtime,
         the melody’s sad cry.

A once allegro symphony
      so bold and full of joy,
   my life was lush and so carefree,
         a moment to enjoy.

But now the times are not so quick,
      the tempo slowing down;
   I hear the metronome’s dull click;
         this song has shed its crown.

I long for tempo primo now;
      I miss those carefree days;
   my symphony must not allow
         these melancholy ways.
