Septolet
The Septolet consists of seven lines containing fourteen words written in two parts with a break in between them, each part dealing with the same thought… to create one picture (to a degree, somewhat like the concept of haiku/senryu — which contain two snapshots of aspects of the same reality). I stop I stop my ears to hear your fingers singing fragrant pictures, seeing transparent love © Daniel J Ricketts 30 Nov 2004 just duet tenor gives orchestra human voice baritone's antiphon echoes appreciation for soloist… now in harmony © Daniel J Ricketts 24 Nov 2004 Thank God thanks-giving for Blockbusters, football, turkeys, tryptophan… or gratitude for life, shelter, food, safe family? © Daniel J Ricketts 24 Nov 2004 ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
