Short Singing Voice Poems

the director had said, “our needs are dire”
my wife volunteered us both for the choir
always something going wrong
with my voice I won’t last long 
it didn’t work out because of the fire

SHE STRIVES SO HARD
HER SINGING VOICE IS PRECIOUS
A VOICE TO BE HEARD
AS SHE SEEKS THE GOALS
A PRECIOUS JEWEL WAS FOUND
A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
HER GIFTS WERE FOUND
TALENTED AS EVER
NOW A KNOWN STAR AMONGST THEM ALL....

Dainty sweet pixie woman seen through yonder coconut tree
Has superior monarch markings on her chest and one knee
Heard that her singing voice is even more melodic than thee
I listen for the sound of her, as she glows most happily...

The incomparable Mahalia Jackson
Her celestial singing voice sprung a stunned reaction

The "queen of gospel music"; a soul-stirring siren
They don't make em' like her anymore. A true titan!

The cello has a tender singing voice
Allows the feelings which we cannot say.
Among composers,  Bach would  be my choice
The cello sings   rich lyrics  with her voice.
Rostropovich , Prague ; he wept of course.
Soviet armies  marched, the Czechs  were  flayed.
The cello has a sorrowing truthful voice;
Speaks our feelings when we cannot pray....

thinking with my
head voice while
speaking with
my speaking voice
while texting with
my sign language
finger tips that often
play chords on my
string strung wooden
box that occupies
my singing voice
all happening all
at the same time
as elevator musak
in a different time
signature not
knowing if i'm
going up or
down or stuck
on one floor...

It is skimpy
But not indecent
It looks fabulous on a pre-teen
But do not get any ideas
Because that would be creepy

Old women look better in a one piece
And if they are wide they sometimes do better with a skirt
Bikinis are not for everyone
But when I see a yellow polka dotted one,
Look out.

My singing voice comes out
And I am no Brian Hyland...

Polar bear angel on a winter’s day
Glided out of sight with my cousin Ray
Ray is a flea, so most did not see him there
I heard his singing voice in the cool light air

The swan sleigh they took had wheels, which was odd
Don’t get lost Ray, I called. Don’t get under that bod!
Ray is always careful, so I relaxed a teensy bit.
If something happens to Ray, his wife will have a fit....

She rode into town on an eagle’s wing
We did not know what to do when she started to sing
We had never seen a delicate faerie with such zing.
We had no idea what the rest of the day might bring.

I am the wren faerie, she told us all.
I can show you how to walk upright and tall.
We already knew this, but we decided to stall.
For her singing voice was attracting shoppers to the mall....

Toby Keith, there is so much we owe you
for your song “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue”.
Your country band backed up your strong singing voice.
The sound you produced became a nation’s choice.
Since those twin towers in Manhattan were downed,
the might of the USA was motivated by your sound.
Every man, woman, and child felt patriotic
once they heard your song that was terrific.

He’s one of the best performers anyone can get..

sitting in a gazebo
in the rain with you
watching the water flow with a smile
enjoying the quiet as well as the stillness
listening to you sing love (can make you happy)
and saying to my self, 'oh mercy!'
making you laugh mid-lyric
then i sing 'laughter in the rain'
to myself while enjoying the beautiful 
singing voice and the pleasure of the
pleasingly permanent company of the
One That I Love......Nothing Like It!...

Harold was the loudest singer in the caroler group.
Many got irritated at him, but when they reached a stoop.
The people inside heard them loud and clear.
Mostly because Harold’s loud singing voice was here.

We argued sometimes about tossing him out.
But he loved the caroling group, one said with a pout.
So we kept him in, until he got too old to come along.
Without him we were never in as great a spirit or as loud a song....

A singing voice grown il
A blooming flower broken
A story kept in mind
A thought that went unspoken

It's not what they expected
It's not what they had dreamed
It's a stronger will to rethink
It's not what it had seemed

The cataract of thought
The water flowing thickly
The sight too dark to see through
The sight that lies there sickly

They knew it was the end
They did it anyway
They rethought all their choices
Their thoughts at last astray....
