Nature’s Concerto
Awakened by the orchestra as dawn chased shadows of the night across the stage where instruments were tuned. The curtain drawn, revealed the players who would soon engage in morning’s symphony. It was as though they’d waited for an audience to start a musical concert. A soft cello began its melody that touched the heart and lead into a contrapuntal score of sweet cacophony. Each lyric phrase was met with dissonance; one might implore extended practices in coming days but with the birds and bees… their voices raised to greet each day is only to be praised. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hello Larry;
it's about 4:30 A.M. in my time zone, and nature's concert is about to begin under the baton of my resident mockingbird. A chorus of white-winged doves is already chiming in. An enjoyable read, flawlessly executed, in my opinion. Ali ······· ·······~~~~
It is a poem’s absolute perfection that can lead to its imperfection. ~~~~ |
