Marigold Melodies

 

 

 

 

Marigold Melodies

 

Marigold melodies whispering soft

Harmonies dream on the wind

Scented illusions of days in the past

And those about to begin

 

Blooming of music in shades tinted yellow

Sweet as the day you were born

Penned in the key of to never forget

Symphonies cast off the storm

 

Beneath a sunrise of violin vistas

Precious this garden of song

Petals in piccolo choruses beaming

Hoping you will sing along

 

Listen as heavenly arias play

Now as the music does start

Find every note is performed just for you

Composed of the love in my heart

Author's Note

Thank you for reading

I had a feeling that you had written this one about your daughter for some reason, either way it turned out great. Some beautiful use of alliteration along a polished piece of rhyming, all wrapped up in gorgeous description as only you can do.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Astro. I guess it could have been but she wasn't exactly my inspiration when I wrote it.

[Astro]

It was just a feeling I had, still great stuff.

[Lily Finch]

Julie, thank you so much for stopping by my garden of words this day. Happy this bloom made you smile.

[Angel]

Hahaha...this was very timely for me...as I am about a month away from celebrating the day of my birth.
My Grandma used to tell me that the world dressed itself in its finest colors for my birthday party...
This is lovely, Jack.

[Jack...]

And I think know your Grandma was right. Thanks so much my sweet friend.

I love your lyric-style pieces, they always find ways to take on lives of their own, be it through alliterations or lilting rhythms or seamless rhymes and so on...nicely done Jack :)

[Jack...]

Thank you Steve...I was a songwriter before I dropped the music and became a poet. :) Actually, I still write music, just not as much as I write poetry these days. I am happy you liked this one.

[kublakhan27]

I always wanted to be a songwriter but have never been successful in learning to play anything...for years I've had this delusion of being Bernie Taupin, and hoping to find an Elton somewhere along my life's travels...that would be my dream job haha :)

[Jack...]

Never give up because you never know. Bernie didn't really play, he just wrote lyrics.

[kublakhan27]

Haha exactly...I'm hoping for a day when I'll cross paths with a musician in a similar scenario ;)

You've composes and excellent write here, Jack -- Everything seems to have been said, so I will just say I loved it and well done.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much noodle. How are you feeling?

[s y e]

I'm not doing too good Jack -- How are you?

[Jack...]

Is it still your foot? Did they operate?

[s y e]

No, I have a chest infection and tummy problems.

[Jack...]

My word Sye...we need to get you better. Are you taking antibiotics?

[s y e]

Yes I am.....

[Lydia Shutter]

I think this might be a poem for a child of yours. It is filled with love and beauty. The images were uplifting, Jack. A pleasure to read. Lydi**

[Jack...]

Thanks Lydi, my children aren't as into their father's poetry as some are. But maybe someday.

[Lydia Shutter]

My son never reads mine, but that does not stop me from writing poetry for him! :)

Penned in the key of to never forget"
