The last couple days’ drafts have been, well, a bit too drafty to post.
But here is a derangement of Elizabeth Bishop’s “I Am in Need of Music,” inspired by a prompt at Adele Kenny’s poetry blog: Music.
Harmonic intervention
(after E. Bishop)
Sleep; the moon floats
forever still in the sea,
fading, sinking; deep
through the heart
of cool, quiet rest
breathes a spell
made of melody.
Limbs flush, glow
and quiver in dreams
of water, falling
dead-tired to rest
in the sway of some old
song, low and liquid.
Oh, for the healing!
Clear lips, trembling
melody, bitter fingers
feel the frets
of tainted music:
I am in need.

Lovely, Jennifer! I figured you were writing a poem a day!!!
Good one. So ambitious to write a poem a day! Go girl!
Thanks for the encouragement! The trick for me is that I write a poem each day – but not necessarily a good/complete/finished poem each day. 😉
I might try it next year; great practice!
