~Symphony of Words~





Words become pictures
and open the eyes to the soul
stirring lyrical passion

poetry
limerick
rondelet, paradelle, villanelle
metaphorically speak

rhythms of life
dance to the music
simile meter and verse
touching deep

through
strophe and stanza
with artistic grace
and letters of lace
the song of the spirit emerges
resounding with rapture

a symphony of words
~

(smiles) Oh Lyra, I think it is just magical how we can write in so many wonderful ways and how the possibilities are endless! (kiss on cheek) Your wonderful words are always true symphonies, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Those words have been on the tip of my tongue for weeks now...but my poor muse has been asleep and she finally woke up so I could write the rest of the poem.

Thanks so much, Nancy...  I think its true, poetry really is a symphony.  I had started this about a month ago...but then my muse took a very long nap.  She finally woke up and finished this for me...

A beautiful symphony this was indeed!  Play on little chipmunk, play on!

The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it.

Lyra,
Now there is a picture with attitude! Great job. And how many instruments do you have going here. You are one talented little rodent. Excellent write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Most impressive Lyra. What a wonderful description of the variety of poems and words. I would never have thought to call it a symhony.

And the graphic is fetching. I spent a long time just staring at it and have no idea what it is, but it certainly captivated my attention. Great job...

Hugs, Marti

You are a clever Chipmunk putting all those style of poetry in a poem,  like a story in a story, one thing in the samething that it is.  I like the way you did this

Thanks so much, Larry...
That picture looked to me, like a Rorschach of a symphony.  Symphony, as used in the poem,  is actually an abstract concept...so it needed an abstract picture.
Thanks for the compliment also...
I guess I do pretty well for a chipmunk...I can even type...
