Short Legato Poems

Birdsong twitters
Sunlight flickers in and out of clouds
Weaving messages with light
You resonate with sound

Chirping virtuoso
Eco vibrato on a pleasing wind
A melody to serenade my ears
As wings glide legato 
Wings flap staccato
From bird’s eye view
Your chorus chimes

I beg reprise ......

Soli, Soli, then be Tacet!
Soli, Soli, then be Tacet!
Ossai,Ossai, Rubato,Tenuto
Ossai, Soli.
Adagio? Adagio: no, no, no !
Vivase! Vivase, Vivase!

Divisi, Cresendo,Cresendo!

Let the song sift through your soul
Let the harmony heal your heart
Let the melody mend your mind
Make life a musical masterpiece
Let the people hear the peace
Let us understand in unison
Let humans hear the Heavens
Crescendo into all creations
Decrescendo to the day's dawn
Stay stubbornly staccato
Living loosely like legato
Freeze in fermata for a moment
Make life a musical masterpiece...

summer symphony serenade song

cricket concertos
 cicadas in choruses~
  summer serenades

bullfrogs beat bass lines
 barn owls hoot bluesy ballads ~
  bars of broken chords

lightning bugs light up
 legato lines of lyrics ~
  lento lullabies

fireflies flit fuoco
 in festivals of folksongs ~
  firelight fantasies

katydids croon classics
 contemporary chirping
  summer symphonies...

I've heard him sing: The Mulatto:
By fat hotter than Roberto
Like Pepper is to Pimento;
Lost to him, too, one Alberto:
The boy friend of Fine Talatu...

Alto in all shows he goes to,
Even when beats are Staccato
Or long remains The Legato...

Yes, A very Good Contralto, 
Overly fond if Sweet Potato
He would eat with Mashed Tomato...

Harsh words for Irish Potato;
Yet harsh Teeth of Alligator:
In anger bites in their ghetto!...
