Composed by love (Serpentine Verse)

~

Softly the keys find a resonance pure, softly

adrift o’er a metronome stream, adrift

past the harmonies, three quarter time, past

dreamers and slumbering chords shimmered gleam, where dreamers

all long to caress what is heard, all

feeling vibrato on breezes a’ mist, feeling

the music ‘pon moonbeams of time to capture the

tune a pianist hath kissed, a tune

from the heart beating tempos of joy, from

deep down inside to the edge of the scale, deep

in a place that shall find no return, lost in

a breath of crescendo’s exhale, a

beautiful euphony born of desire, a beautiful

opus descends from above, an opus

of sensual echoes to feast, of

love songs, melodic, now composed by love

Well done, Will! :) I really appreciate the musical references throughout. For me, it took quite a bit of research in order to cover some of those aspects within my poem. This was a fun thing to do, however, I was reminded why I have only written one other Serpentine Verse. It is really difficult working within those confines. Interestingly enough, I believe Serpentine Verse was originally introduced by the first and last word of an entire poem beginning and ending with the same word. Pfft! That's nothing. Doing so line by line, now, that's a challenge! It's really hard. I hope you had fun with it. Thank you.

Thank you so much Linda. I had a blast writing to this challenge. Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this. Not only was it fun but it was definitely challenging, I was happy to learn I could follow in the format and accomplish this though...after reading yours...wow. Once again, thank you so much my friend.
