It flows through
Dew
Drops on spider webs
And pings a string
"Oh What A Beautiful
Morning"
Steam from coffee
Swirls to "Proud Mary"
Furry tails swing
While I sing "Happy"
His good bye kiss
Tastes like "Something"
The car wheels
Thumping
On the street
"Eight Days a Week"
Lift your hands up
Life's a song
Clap, dance, sing
Or hum along
This is offered for Gabriella's prompt at Poetry Jam poetryjaam.blogspot.com to write a tribute, started out as a tribute to music which is my constant whether actually playing or just from the jukebox in my brain, but may have ended up as a tribute to life or joy...you can pick. And for the prompt by Gay at dversepoets.com to write a song, a bit of serendipity there :-) Enjoy!
I just love the happy mood of your poem, Sara! Great tribute to life and joy!
ReplyDeleteHi Gabriella! Thank you for the wonderful prompt! :-)
DeleteWhat a beautiful tribute, Sara! I feel the rhythmic beat of happiness in your words. (Oddly - smiles - I always had a fondness for the song 'Proud Mary.')
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Thank you so much! I thought of you when I was writing that song title :-)
Deletegood memories in each one - -
ReplyDeleteHi! You are absolutely right, my favorite songs have lots of happy memories :-)

Hi Brian! Yes there is much music in life, love that comment to get into the rhythm too :-)
DeleteLove the joy of this... you made me happy with all the citations.
ReplyDeleteHi Bjorn! Happy that we share a similar smile playlist :-)
DeleteI'm glad this worked for you twice. It is fun, bouncy, and has a little Beatle homage - on this big anniversary of theirs. Yes (I admit it) I saw them on that Ed Sullivan show - way back when. Enjoyed this a lot. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Gay! What a great compliment! Thank you--As you can tell I'm a big Beatles fan, just watched the tribute last night. Lucky you to have seen them on Ed Sullivan :-)
DeleteLovely cadence and rhythm to this piece. Beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy! Thank you :-)
DeleteThis puts a smile on my face and is a great start to my day. Thanks, Sara!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! I'm so happy we shared a smile together, thank you :-)
Deletesuch a wonderful joyful atmosphere in this sara... i love the rhythm and the furry tails swinging...ha..so cool... i sing along...smiles
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia! Loved your song too--made me smile to think of you singing along :-)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous tribute to the joy music brings! :)
ReplyDeleteThe best is the double Beatles, and the GOOD bye kiss. Ironically, I had no song for this, although I saw the prompt. BAD songwriter!!! Yours is sweet and, as you said, taken from your mental jukebox. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your good wishes and continued friendship. xo Amy
By the end I was tapping along to your joy-filled poem! Thanks!
