Written for: Poetic Asides #506
“For today’s prompt, pick a composer, make him or her the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible composers could include “Ludwig van Beethoven,” “Johann Sebastian Bach,” and “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.” Or you could get more contemporary with composers like “John Williams,” “Meredith Monk,” and “Unsuk Chin.” Or even go with songwriters like “Billy Joel,” “Kate Bush,” and “Kim Deal.”
Clair de Lune is moonlight.
Each time I hear
those first
few notes,
I am transported
to a land
of romance
and music.
Stars dance,
moon expands
from arc
of light
to beam
enfolding mysterious shadows.
