Music of the Earth

The splendid sounds of earth’s sweet melodies
Are rhythms of the ocean‘s rolling hymn
That pulses life within a porpoise fin
And carries shells from deepness of the seas

In quietness of woodland's rustling trees
Come songs that briskly strum an icy limb
And crackle as the twilight slowly dims
And through the pines, a whistling,haunting breeze

Sweet madrigals at early dawning’s brink
On ocean, winter limb and summer grounds
Are melodies the spirit strains to hear
For just one lyric song from bob-o-link
Is but a gift of which the earth abounds
But only sung for an aesthetic ear

That's beautiful, Elizabeth.

Nicely written with lots of feeling.

Oh Liz, you little show off

well of course that is absolutely beautiful - it is a "Santos Sonnet" how could it not be? Darn, you make that look so easy, and I am having trouble here, da dum, da dum, how dumb!

Hi Liz,

Nicely done. I haven't talked with you in a while but I do try to keep up with at least a small portion of your work.

Thanks,
Pete

Not only does Liz make it look easy... It IS easy for her - I've seen her sit down to write early in the morning and in just a few short minutes create a masterpiece... Like this mellifluent verse...
