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

just duet
tenor gives orchestra human voice
baritone's antiphon echoes appreciation for soloist… now in harmony

Thank God
thanks-giving for Blockbusters, football, turkeys, tryptophan… or
gratitude for life, shelter, food, safe family?
