What music is not about?

definition

Music
isn't about dancing, quirky in rain
isn't about staring, into each others eyes
isn't about hiding in dust bins, head popped out
isn't about proposing, knee down with grass.

It
isn't about holding leg up,making love
isn't about hanging, suspended from trees
isn't about staring again, into the others eyes
isn't about eating, morning flakes with milk.

Music
isn't about being happy, couple like smile
isn't about staring, in abstract wall art
isn't about photo shoots, in Paris
isn't about getting agitated, in beaches with thee.

It
isn't about sipping coffee, staring at you
isn't about happy, couple ish smile
isn't about hiding, behind thorns
isn't about Superman, or flying kites.

Music
isn't about long lost lovers, who've just met
isn't about finishing the cherry, in the cereal bowl
isn't about the happy, inclined life
isn't about you and me, after all

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

A very interesting, introspective and unusual poem. This is a unique, fun and thought provoking piece. The ending is very powerful and makes you think a lot. Your wording and imagery is very stylish despite the restrictive structure. Which none the less makes it a fascinating read.

yes I agree with analog kid!! it's there - everything has the potential to be used in different ways - up to us to choose how to!! nice, a thinker!

wow. this was... just.. really good. i connected with it for some odd reason. I liked this. A LOT.

[The Analog Kid]

Very interesting twist. My take on it is music is there like any other art and it is what you make of it. It is different for every person.
