OCTET

LISTEN LIKE A DAZED SONNET

WHOSE CHORUS STREAMS IN FLUCTUATING MOODS

SONNET'S SOUNDS NEED TO BE TOLD

RENDER THE SOUL'S LIFE TO AN OCTAVE OF GOD

WHEN HE ECHOES FROM HIS SOUL

YOUR MIND WILL KNOW THEE

FA LA LA LA, FA LA LA LA

FA LA LA LA, FA LA LA LA

Thanks E!

I've been amiss at the cafe lately. Diversions of all sorts keep me from my favorite site.

some deep thought i read in this one Big Al ... too cool the personification of the sonnet ... elevates the listening ... and covers the gamut of emotions no doubt ... but i especially like the lift to an octave of God ... oh how desperate we are for just a thin whisper from our Creator eh!? ... at least i am .. and such a twist for me in L5&6 ... if we don't know ourselves ... the wisdom is centuries grounded .. we can't know anyone ... let alone God .. and such a whimsical skipping down the road singing Fa la la la .... love this poem ... compact and surgical with a whole lot of content says i

A song writer and a poet. You are making us dazed indeed. Falalala dear Alfred Kubitz...

Music can be heavenly and all encompassing. Your poem tunes us to the eternal tune of the almighty. Your pen is musical.

this speaks to the fluctuation of emotions, even those contained with one poem...maybe poets are the moodiest bunch...who knows...'
