Muldoons poem reminds me of this one by Erich Kästner:

Quote:
Being a Poet
What do poets really do?
Children sometimes ask,
“Is writing poetry lots of fun,
Or a really boring task?”
“How do you get the words
To rhyme the way they do?”
“What kind of mind matches words
Like gnu, canoe, and kazoo?”
I think we are all poets
In our own little way.
Poems are when an open mind
Lets its thoughts out to play.
Bruce Larkin
Larkin-Lovely poem!Did for small children what Monteiro Lobato did in Brazil for older ones: awaken their interest in several subjects.
Exceptionally repeating B- Bob Dylan

re: Sibelius video... Enjoyed all but the 2nd movement. The video had a segment with an inverted exclamation point that I explored with a modest poem I dedicated to my sister pk vaille on her birthday while in Maple Valley, WA tending to our dying Mother:
~~o~~~~ sunsets
daily tie-dyed
pastel skies
all too soon
dematerialize
mountains, vales
and prairies fade;
glaciers chill -
deserts defied
oceans drink
in exultation;
the sun retreats
in exclamation ¡

I liked the poem, but didn´t know about the sad memories associated with the music
Aphra Behn: Interesting woman! Going to look for her plays in the internet.
Bret Harte
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Harte
No... the music video I hadn't seen before, but the music would have been quite appropriate for the time. The inverted ! ( or "¡") is what I had expressed from a fonder memory at the beach. Re Bret Harte... he once lived in Sonora in the Sierra foothills as I do; only ~141 klicks South. I used to have family and old friends living there. http://www.poetry-archive.com/h/marys_album.html

HP- There are shorter "minimalistic" videos if you prefer them
PL- I like jazz. "Fever" sounds somehow very familiar to me
Liza Minnelli

HP: Fun music. Kind'a reminds me of my Dad's music selection the day he got his first stereo eons ago. There was this clear yellow vinyl that had the funkiest/jazz instrumentals on it I have yet to hear again.
Marvin Hamlisch... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Hamlisch
HP-Well, that´s The Sorcerer!
Hamlish- I love "Life is what you make it" and probably other film songs, but I didn´t know the name of the author.

Thank you ! I find this very precious, for me and my Latter-day Saints' sensibilities: https://www.lds.org/music/library/hy...ather?lang=eng . Re: KC - another gone too soon.Quote:
Even the man who is happy
glimpses something
or a hair of sound touches him
and his heart overflows with a longing
he does not recognize
then it must be that he is remembering
in a place out of reach
shapes he has loved
in a life before this
the print of them still there in him waiting
