The Elegy

The Elegy
From Chicago to Washington
Guns play their fatal crescendo
Not much glissando
Too many musicians 
Or too many instruments?

“Fall sings its song in a rhythmic glissando voice”
for the feathered leaves on flight, rustling to rejoice. 

Inspired by : Autumn’s Russet Leaves by : Lin Lane (2025)
Form: Couplet

Glissando she dances devinlly

Love might she whisper
her sweet nothings
Love might she wish to ignore
Love might she want to hear me
sing
Love
My Love
the one I adore

Love might the warmth of morning
greet me as I kiss your face
Love endearing and calming
Love
oh Love a sweet embrace
Love our melding
might we be together
Love
oh love
my lovers embrace

Malady Melts Music

hoisted hankerings puke
nauseating vying view
lofty lust yawns
puncturing pulpy lawn
twain tainted tune
mystic melody prune

rusty riffs blush
under octave's touch 
callous crescendoes' crush

smirking pitch pitches
gaunt glissando clinches
birthing sumptuous A6


tuning atmosphere tenses
malady melts music.

Crushing Concerto's Best

bleeding guts busted
hankering urge hoisted
dark drips dribbled
mending torn treble
felon fashion flawed
cuddling callous crawl

drooling diminuendo's crest
gaunt glissando bled
crushing concerto's best

tamed dreg tilted
sassy syllables guided
sumptuous slavery greeted

la-de-da wits worn
on funky forms.

Lofty Twitch Tossed

voluptuous voice elastic
rustling rhythm rustic
eerie extension etched
drooping callous crest
caressing glissando gulped
nocturnal octaves numb

lusty lyrics seeped'n
sumptuous squashed thrills
dainty dances drip

heightened fame fostered
vying veil triggered
hoisted days hanker

lofty twitch tossed
by blitzkrieg bought.
