Pantoum Of The Opera ~*Marge Tindal*~  Aria of grace in quaking Scaling elegant notes of song Before crescendo comes waking On renewal of the dawn Scaling elegant notes of song Masked mystic of melody On renewal of the dawn Comes gentle tune of me Masked mystic of melody Caped in melodic longing Comes gentle tune of me Necessary for my songing Caped in melodic longing For all the world to hear Necessary for my songing Yet falling on deafened ear For all the world to hear My heart in song, now breaking Yet falling on deafened ear While all the earth lays aching My heart in song, now breaking Before crescendo comes waking While all the earth lays aching Aria of grace in quaking *Mr. Lon Chaney from the 1925 performance of 'Phantom of the Opera' Inspired by a little monthly Passions In Poetry Workshop assignment~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie girl darling sister of my heart this is exceptionally good writing. These must be incredibly difficult to do, and I applaud anyone who can do them. When the result is as wondrous as this well I’m impressed. Seriously good writing darling girl, very very good. I love it utterly bounce:   Love and warm stuff As always Slushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Marge, What a title! I love this, pantoums are so involved and convoluted, and this is so good.Nan |

Perfection drapes the stage in this, the Phantom, and his lovely Miss Your play with words, a play refined everlasting story, paged in time... [This message has been edited by Lady In White (03-13-2002 05:21 PM).] |

Oh Marge how very very clever of you. I loved the phantom of the opera and I also love the Pantoum form, but my little mind never thought of putting them together. Great job here, you did this so well. floria Floria |

Auntie Margie girl this is stunning, I can see the work that went into this, it’s obvious that you really understood this format. Beautifully written my favourite aunt, you show your skill and heat in this. You don’t need me to say this is well written and constructed with care and attention to detail. Because you obviously know, it is an exquisite piece of art. Well written and beautifully presented. Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
