MUSIC SET THE TONE
A saint once procured for her phone
Entirely a new type of tone.
When starting to ring,
The angels would sing,
Direct from the heavenly zone.
Sarcasm is meant to sting
it’s no way to have a discussion
~ speaking from the heart’s best

Hugh Hefner, also known as 'Hef'
To most females was quite tone-deaf
He recast grown women as fawning bunnies
Who drooled over his scantily-clad wad of money
A tone-deaf woman in Tucumcari
made a wish to sing like a canary
Her perpetual sadness
has now turned to gladness
It’s just eat, tweet and be merry!

TONE DEAF
Blind men searching for a silent sound
amid the cacophonic ruins
of solitude’s deafness.

For PD’s contest
Any poem under 5 lines #1
P oets are a special breed
O bsessed with how each line reads
E ver seeking the perfect rhyme
T aking oodles and oodles of time
S o the finished product peals and chimes
The hearts expectations
Lovers intentions
A game of telephone
Disconnected----
Dropped the line
Dial tone ----
Truth somewhere between
Lost I love yous and purple monkey dishwasher
rising from a trembling heart
sadness wells up in the vacant eyes
and the tone of voice
that never lies.

Ninth Place : Gregory Barden- Liberum Divisa6 Contest-5/26/21
Waiting for the music,
naked and alone
the words become orphans,
unsung and unknown
The letters in limbo,
each phrase nether blown
with melody absent
—the magic disowned
(Rosemont College: December, 2021)
Of a melancholy tone
She is through with you
Look at what you have done
And the madness you've put her through
Just consider her gone
You manipulated her heart
Always the one to torture
Right from the start
The teacher sets the tone in his classroom for the day
Be pleasant and be friendly, students want to stay
Walk in scowling with a frown upon your face
Good luck, teacher ~ as students turn away
#2: TONE
Taste a calm deep that shows up now,
One touch endears a love profound;
Niche beyond sleep a perfect light,
Etch happy here on placid grounds.

Lived it
Like a daydream
Sunlit!
Faintly
Floated - Befell
Quaintly.
A note
Scented in love
She wrote.

No dial tone to dote on
My memory is made
And my format is filthy
The tone is tempting
But the pause is pressing
My volume is voiceless
And the channels are changing
And a constricting clasp on cancel
Is my only option
Form:
I chug upward
as the air
thins, the sky
blues the stars.
Then it, at the peak,
stops. Music
is not like life.
Envisioning the rhythm of time,
when the now point arrives
there is no view.
I have to tumble
slide down
letting out
the melody
of my breath.
Oboe
don't step on toes
in a way people knows.
No, no. Oboe semi-wails, moans,
alto reality, beauty, sometimes
scarce sense of order but deep sense
of vibe. Oboe don't step
on toes. Toes need
oboe.

"Sound of Emotion"
Cruz croppin' cruz control,
contralateral craw fishing on the soul-
grounding intimidation,
growling conversations,
growing in the grooms greatest advantageous...
Glowing-
gory the launch pad goal,
cloning calamity's spindrift off the walls of the show.
tone-deaf
unintelligible
mumblings
escape into the air
like nails spreading
across a chalkboard
causing confused
expressions to spread
across the faces of those
around
break out in an all out
two left footed choreography
the look at me look at me
show has begun
The tone & timbre of writing in key ,
Thoughts expressed as if written for me ,
Understanding words that read like a rhyme ,
Patience absorbed when learned over time ,
A flower that blooms so we all can rejoice ,
Nature shouts out such a beautiful voice.

he did not respond
she said something generic
but her tone was harsh
he did not argue
she approached him angrily
did not work at all
he took some deep breaths
as he watched her veins popping
she was no expert
he left quietly
because rage had blinded her
and she could not see
I'm afraid of my cell phone I confess
"Someone" changed the ring tone to cause me stress
While I took a nap
He switched it to rap
Now when my phone rings I'm really a mess
"Someone" being my grandson Jordan..
I finally got him to change it back...lol

tone deaf &
hoping for a break
s/he lifts up their glass &
after dedicating this song s/he’s about to sing
to said celebrated person of the
evening,
s/he belts into a rendition of
something that won’t be recognized
for another 5 years of
round the clock
study @
the Center for Neuroacoustic Research.
Spread like the colour of grey
From black to white
From white to black
In a different tone
In an ambiguous form
To blur the eyes
To look at the world at a different angle
To interfere mankind's dignity
To question and fight against the truths
To believe whatever fallacies
Regardless of logics and truths
The poet police pay attention to
punctuation, they patrol pauses,
comas, and correct enunciation..
The poet police prefer prolific
prose, perfumy pendants so
pen one of those..
Be mindful of what type of
poem you compose.
Pay attention to your tone,
and never ever park your poems
in a no poetry parking zone.
