So here is yet another poem about music. Found this poem on tabblo.com. Unfortunately, I can't give you guys the name of the author, since I found it on a website, but I can give you her ( im assuming this) nick which is Courtney-bowers57. So without further delay, here is the poem, titled: My Music Poem
A soft sweet, sound from deep within our souls,
Expressed in a most different way.
An indescribable sound descending from our hearts,
Seems it has something to say.
An unpredictable sound conveying love and peace,
Revealed from deep inside,
A wave of emotion expressed through song
So free it seems it has nothing to hide.
An unwinding of feelings, felt deep in the heart,
Always present in every way.
A sound that is sacred and precious,
That can never be taken away.
So, if you guys haven't guessed already, this poem describes music and how it starts from feelings deep down inside from your soul and expressed outwardly in the beautiful form of music. And as a decent musician I can tell you that the way you feel at the moment you are playing influences alot about how and what you play. And I don't just mean the type of music you play or the song you play, although that is often true. If you play one song 20 times in year, every time it will be different, mirroring you're emotions at the time you were playing it. Even if you play the same notes 20 times, they will still be different. And this poem beautifully reflects that.
So now, more about this poem: obviously the rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF. One of the things that is very though out about this poem is that it definetly has a rhythm. This poem doesnt necesarrily have an iambic beat, but it nicely has a 10 8 10 8 syllable in the stanzas, giving it a definite and puposeful rhyme. This poem appeals to your sense of emotion, mostly through sound. Many literary devices were used, mostly similes and metophors, like "wave of emotion expressed through song" and some personifications " An indescribable sound descending from our hearts, ". The author uses repetition of the word "sound", accenting the significance of the word and creating a sense of ending in the last two lines of the poem. Overall, a nice, well thought out poem.
Just as a side note, the url of the site where i got this from is http://www.tabblo.com/studio/stories/view/1503085/?nextnav=tag&tag=music. I rearranged the formatting of the poem and arranged them into 4 line stanzas, which seemed most appropriate for the poem.
