Sound




(Picture Credit - Chicenter com)


A poem is built with sounds

Liberally littered with alliteration

Rhyming reason

Aspiring assonance

Up metaphorical mountains.

 

Each letter plays its part.

A cast of cascading chords

Making mystical music

For the discerning ear.

 

Operatic musicals from the Muse:

A crescendo of noise

Or sometimes

Whispers in the winnowing wind.

 

I write because I must,

Because I need to

In answer to

The Call.

 

Paul Butters
