Nocturne

Of the stars there came a symphony,
darkness tuned on melodic beams,
arranged in staccato movements
Zig zagged scales, off key and staggered
play to unsuspecting hearts
dancing in courtyards of cobble musings,
calling for an encore
as the light fades
and the skies become silent

Lovely ending. It is amazing to see that you created something this great with so few words. :))
My favourite lines would be:
"calling for an encore 
as the light fades 
and the skies become silent "

In my library!!:))

I love musically-themed pieces, especially those of the classical variety...the fourth line really captures that off-key feel with the zig-zag and what it does to the rhythm...great work willweb.

Thank you so much KLGoode for your nice comments. I was inspired watching "Endeavor" on television last night.

[Lyn Anderson]

I don't even know what Endeavor is -- I don't watch much tv.

[willweb]

As I read this nocturne over again and again I can't help to fall prey to the gymnopedies but in a funny sort of way there is such a weight when naming a poem. The gentle strides on a romantic night cobbles, lights fading yeah I can start to see Eric Satie playing.

Thankyou WillWeb this is a pleasure

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Rene for this nice review of my poem. I am happy you enjoyed this one. Not familiar with Eric Satie but will be.

I agree with Jacob, I said that before. You're a master of metaphors.
This is a nice feel to it. Silence... Sometimes that's a good thing. :)

[willweb]

Yes, sometimes that is a good thing. Thank you so much Ance for your nice rview.
