Ring Tones

When choosing a ring tone,
Make sure it won’t grate
On your nerves or turn into
A sound that you hate.

They vary from gentle
To jarring or shrill,
While doing the job
They’re designed to fulfill.

We snap to attention
When hearing our phone,
So its ring should be one
We accept as our own.

Drollery The Antisetic Poet

Allusion the word used
it seemed out of place
and wedged between
repetition and simile.
Her thick English sounding accent
was as attractive as her
Gorgous face and , she had
more appeal then all the Ladies here combined!
She was talking about writing and began
bragging about the day she
was in Windsor Canada and meet
Feasty Broadway ( the world renewed)
Musician and singer.
She said

Premium MemberAn Evening in The Tones of Rothko

The last embers of a sunset
sink below a dark horizon
almost mirroring a Rothko
painting in its somber
and weighted tones.
A sadness has found
a place to settle 
for the evening

and is absorbed 
by the water and sky.
It seems weary, unable
to take form in a thought
and be given a name, 
but is more a shade 
as that which inhabits
the

Premium MemberMiss Malone’s Dulcet Tones

The blackboard waited stark and bare
As yet, there was no teacher there 
A striding vision, took the chalk
You know… I recognised that walk

Miss Malone’s Dulcet tones
Sent a shudder through my bones
Her flowing hair with blonde highlights
Her mini skirt and fishnet tights
The way she stood with feet spread wide
And the purpose in her stride

I gave my

Star-crossed at Karaoke

Mobile ring tones at morning light,
disturb the shapes under covers,
the outlined echoes of last night,
two star-crossed microphone lovers,
drawn from opposite ends of town,
yesterday’s pub entertainers,
way on down at the Old Three Crowns,
they met singing Gloria Gaynor, 
ramped and amped with emotion,
to songs that belonged in the haze,
now wake to face their commotion,
the music of separate

Premium MemberWorld Music in Dulcet Tones and Duduk Vibrations

Across the globe, music ascends—a universal zephyr,
Bridging cultures in harmonious yearning;
Chords converge from Andes to the Zangezur, xenharmonic,
Dulcet tones of a duduk—in the air, they whisper.

Every note—an echo of humanity's vibration,
From flamenco's fire to the finesse of a cello's undulation;
Gamelan's gongs—a gamut of sounds' timbre,
Harmonium's hum—hearts and spirits, it serenades.

In India where the sitar intricately

Premium MemberMiles Tones

You spoke a new language
  of rarefied air
  guided nonchalantly 
  through curving channels of brass

Conduits of cool
  juries of jazz
  floating past soulful valves 
  harbingers of what will come

Slender fingers
  improvising storylines
  magistrates of melancholy
  bailiffs of bop

Miles from the mainstream
  a milestone

Premium MemberAutumn's Tones

Just before the touch of winter’s caress
Comes a moment when my heart must confess
Peace sways eagerly in the zephyr spice
Tempting autumn brings wonders so precise

Just beyond songs of summer’s gentling kiss
Comes a season when hearts feel such sweet bliss
Autumn shakes with splendor of summer’s end
Gasp of hope rustling light who will transcend

Just beneath the sprinkling

Eternal Vibrating Tones of Grace

Eternal dawn, nurturing womb,
Hallowed pure catacomb
Romantic heart of fragrant blooms
Sparkling splendor enthroned

Love from eternity
Sacred vitality
Hope's opportunity

A heavenly wink from mercy's face
Eternal vibrating tones of grace

Tones

~~~~Concludes the poem "Dark Angel"

Tones

Speak to me in many waters
Wash away the dirt and grime
Lay my body upon the altar.
Transform me to another time.
May I be in line _ the first.
To press your palm upon my breast.
Quench this dry unending thirst
To calm my impatient heart to rest.

Alas!, You heed my being.
Offer me of your embrace.
For
