First February Fill!

[fuzzyred]

I made myself a card for this years Valentines Bingi Fest using a combination of new and old lists. I don't think I'll have as many structured poems as last month, just because of the nature of the prompts, but anything I can create is good with me, as I could definitely use the practise. And it's fun! My first fill is a free-verse poem for the "play a musical instrument" square.



Beautiful Harmony

The flute is high and lilting;
shrill and piercing in inexperienced hands,
yet melodic and smooth under the lips of an expert,
capable of giving voice to the most intricate of melodies.

The clarinet is deeper,
its reed easier for a novice to get used to.
Versitile in its ability to play both melody and harmony,
content to play whichever is needed.

The saxophone is deepest of all,
the vibrations giving a richness to the sound.
Most often providing the background for the others,
yet able to shine center-stage when given the chance.

Together, they make beautiful music,
each with their own part to play,
twining in and around one another until the sound is blended perfectly,
creating one whole instead of three separate parts.

After I get some sleep, I'll post this week's Comfort Corner. I hope to see you there!
