Play Me the Now (pantoum)
by Laryalee Fraser (Age: 68)
copyright 05-19-2002


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 

Play me the now on a hand-carved flute;
stifle the shrillness of yesterday's song,
bury its voice till the echoes are mute.
Muffle tomorrow -- its breathing is strong.

Stifle the shrillness of yesterday's song,
make me a pillow of dream-woven lace;
muffle tomorrow -- its breathing is strong --
sprinkle an aura of peace in its place.

Make me a pillow of dream-woven lace;
peel away darkness, right down to the core.
Sprinkle an aura of peace in its place,
write me a gentle, harmonious score.

Peel away darkness, right down to the core;
bury its voice till the echoes are mute.
Write me a gentle, harmonious score;
play me the now on a hand-carved flute.

This is probably the only one I'll write...I just had
to try it, LOL! I wrote one villanelle and swore "never again"...and I haven't.

You got me, I've tried one villanelle, but that's it. So I'm no judge, but I think this is so beautiful and lyrical...very soothing and serene! :)

This is such a incredible structure of thought, so fluid and driving.

Bravo, this is so good. I loved the words flow.
