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' Also to be posted in Open # 19 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Karilea and SmartChick~ This piece was really fun and came easy for me ... LOL ... I had the 'title-thought' on January 21, 2001 .. and plopped it onto a Word Document ... when this class assignment came up ... I figured I'd use it to work with~ It splashed merrily in my little inkwell~ Like I said .... F U N ~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, this is wonderful! I especially liked the last two stanzas-- 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 Keep singing! We hear you! Shenachie |

So - Am I hearing this right? Marge submits a previously completed assignment? Harumph... Good thing it's such a great piece - Good thing...  ...and this is why she finds time to play on the merry-go-round while everyone else is working??... I see how it is...  |

Bridget~ Thanks bunches ... I'm always in song~ Munda~ Thanks gal ... a real fun piece~ Nanners~ Ya' kinda got it right ... The 'title' was one of those 'thoughts' that came my way ... I write them ALL down ... then Poof ! ... it's sort of like the Burger King menu ... you never know for sure what you're getting until it's served ... ! But, the cook is always ready ! 'Scuse me ... I'm dizzy from the merry-go-round~  Love ya' gal ... have a great time with your Spring Fling ... I'm thinking of ya'~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
