Soaking in the Resonance
(a muted/Sunshine duet)
```````````````````````

Moments ago
with a gazebo surrounding her;
in recitation
and practice
practice, then breathe,
timing each word, clocking sound,
prepare
prepare
in case of syllables lost,
to find the rhythm escaped
through the knotholes when
only the boards heard the rumble
of poetry in tremble
repeat
revisit
every pause between
nature's applause
as the planks bask
in the warming sun
soaking in the resonance
of voices
from across the expanse
residing in one soul...
as she begins
gifting to the wind
the tremor of hearts
from around
the world
a universal language,
in the echo
of verse.

ahhhh, how incredibly beautiful...how peaceful and yet like a one act play...feeling like I was really there...very much enjoyed. You make the reader think and transport them to the place of your vision.

Yes it most certainly is a universal language.
Brava! A standing ovation to two of Passions finest poets!

Ladies,  this will very well express the
feel of the moment,  of the day,  the
accomplishment and the feeling left behind
with those who listen and "FEEL" the words.

Well done!!  TO not just one,  but both of
you for a fine accomplishment.

Dawn, thank you so much for this unique opportunity. To share in a duet with another poet is to expand one's horizons. I hope more poets will take the opportunity not only to duet with you, but to find a poet-partner here at Passions, and blend their thoughts and feelings.

It is a challenge, it is humbling, and it is wonderfully rewarding! Thank you again!

Suthern, what is uniquely wonderful about a duet, is that the reader rarely knows [but some are good guessers] as to who wrote what. I will tell you that what you picked out incorporates two of muted's lines, and two of mine.

Good job!

Muted, just wanted you to know, I gave a reading over the weekend [a request of the host and hostess] so I thought of this little duet again...and how rehearsing helps...

and of the sounds of the timber, that you heard.

Let's duet again soon, ok?
