music

Music, who is not pleased with the compassionate breath it imparts upon the soul.

 

 
music
candor solicits tin-eared doubters with cheekiness
  the harp of rectitude bites affably into fuddled air
as the spur of choral refrains instructs my mood  
 
 bliss my ear is yours where would you lead me
jollity lives in five stringed banjos picked to death
oh ecstasy I know you of bowed Strad and Amati
 
where does the piccolo hide when the symphony
rests on holiday from long nights of due diligence
the baton remains motionless no conductor to stir
 
musicale lights my breath - camaraderie flourishes
my heart regales in the fluid embraces of soloists
ensembles, the mighty orchestral pit of philharmonic
 
I beg what else invigorates unites soul psyche heart
with the incomparable poetic flourish of music
 art form whose constant companion is compassion

The fluidity of language and thoughts in your poems is something that strikes a chord with me as a reader. (Pun not really intended, at first...) Such a kaleidoscopic work! Thank you.

This is really lovely, Jon, so magical to read, you make the music dance across the page, and I could hear the symphony loud and clear because of your talented use of words.

It is said that music hath charms......So does this.
More cerebral writing from a knowledgeable wordsmith.

Wonderful, insightful yet instinctive writing - you found the place that music lingers long after the song has ended. "...where does the piccolo hide when the symphony rests..." is terrific!

Even while reading this delightful poem, I have the music of Billy Taylor playing "Paraphrase" in my headset...the two, your poem and the music seemed to fit like a glove.

Cheers,

What an empty world it would be without music...
and of course the poet who writes with the flourish
of music. You are that poet, my friend. -gene.

Where music carries us
and where we joy in special places
of voice and instrument and all they speak;
music is always more than the sum of its parts
and its entertainment, it is another soul
communicating with ours.
What a delight of a poem you deliver us,
Jon, My Friend,
i'm richer because of this and so much warmer within.
