poetry lesson #8
On pouring rice grains into a plastic bin, or a metal bowl dropping onto the floor, and the contented pigeon cooing on my eaves, what chords are in the sounds?

poetry lesson #8
() sounds
poetry is sometimes like that
you pulled some sounds out of noise
and it is some sweet music
i have a test cd, it warns
the low bass may damage your speakers
i am listening to a bass guitarist
her riffs toss and warm you
her low bass may damage your speakers
but wraps you in a cocoon of emotion.
it is the same with poetry
the deeper you go into your soul
the easier to reach insanity.

I like the metaphor of the bass can ruin your speakers for writing poetry and for life.
We are surrounded by insanity...the deeper you go into your soul should be a refuge to hide away and find some peace....Take it easy and spoil yourself a bit:)
I love your parallel of poetry to music. Perfectly penned! .. and a neat sketch as well!
Colleen,
thank you.
i was listening to songs when it crossed my mind.. :)
Rallentanda,
Thank you! shall take your advice & take it easy.
this half year, my poetry writing is on high rear. :)
Thank you, Beverly.
Glad you like the sketch. :)
If the last stanza is single, I would love to marry it. What a delicious, exhilarating, and slightly scary line trio. It's how I feel about poetry (and creative writing in general)--the words and help you find yourself or get you lost...
I enjoyed your poetry lessons, especially lesson #8 and its last stanza.
I love a good bass, but then I also like swimming around in strong emotional waters too. Of course that's where the undertow can take you if you aren't careful.
I can't resist a good base. Of course, I like a good tug on the emotions too.
I got the bass cranked up to max right now & I ain't worried...too late for that, I'm afraid.
"the deeper you go into your soul
the easier to reach insanity."
well said. i like the way you worked your way to that point. enjoyed this very much.
Sounds enticing to me! Emotion tosses and warms, yes, if we're lucky – as music does, as poetry does – but that's not insanity. Insanity tends to divorce us from our natural feelings (don't ask me how I know).
Beautifully penned!
Magaly,

i think, for great poetry, for those unforgettable, timeless works, the writer must have reach deep into his sub-conscious, & memory to craft the imagery & words. :)
Khaya,
Thank you. :)
Rommy,
yes, watch the under currents when swimming around in strong emotional waters. :)
Rommy,
a good bass riff is addictive. :)
Ron.
😄
guess you beat me to it!
Phillip,
Thank you! :)
Nicely done :)
Rosemary,
Thank you!
but obsession can lead to unpleasant consequences. i was trying to say that if one tries too hard, it might not be a good thing. :)
Audrey,
Thank you! :)
Ayala,
Thank you! :)
You have an exquisite style of writing ... and a talent for sketching. I love this!!!
Thank you, Helen. :)
Poetry can certainly lead us into places of which we were not previously aware.
yes, it can. it is like a vessel that explores new exciting places.
Thank you, Teacher, for visiting. :)
