The Symphony

The Symphony

A Poem by KATHY SUE SILLS
"

A musical of different intruments.

"

The lights are dimmed to a soft glow.

Conductor takes the stage.

Audience takes their seats.

Noise fades into silence as the conductor

raises his baton.

The Symphony begins.

 

Keys from the piano play a melodious tones,

keeping in ryhthm with the other instruments.

 

The violinists clinch bow in hand as it

strums the four strings.

Music flows effortlessly.

 

Fingers gracefully pluck the harp.

 Harmony of music fills the coliseum.

 

The clarinet sounds beautiful and peaceful.

Affection for the music stirs audience to tears.

 

The trombone, trumpet and tuba take their turn

in the symphony.

Cries of an elephant can be heard as the

trumpet plays.

 

A flame from a lighter flickers in the dark

as it dances to the bounty of music.

The sound of the instruments soothe

the listeners to awe.

A interesting addition. Sometimes those with required words are hard to do.

In tulsa, in the summer the symphony plays outside at the zoo at night on the weekend, which is a lovely combo just like this poem
