The rythm, the sounds and of course the beat.
Swaying side to side and dancing the isle.
Feel the music pulsating all through your feet.
Calm rushes over your face makes you smile.
You could get lost in the tones, carry away,
feel the love flowing from inside your heart.
Warm like the sun giving heat like mid day,
has always been a part of life, from start.
Music is made from the songs sung in life.
When ever you listen, there is a song.
Some are of love and then some are from strife,
or the travels down the road oh so long.
Music’s love or what ever it can be.
Music’s the life that is inside of me!

Yes music. For me its part of life just like love. You cann tell a mood of someone usually by what they are listening too. |

Nicely done Anthony, music and poetry are twins. To be good they have to resonate throughout our being. |

Beautiful work, Anthony. I love the rythm to this, and the message. This is gonna be a hard decision 🙂 |

Your poem hits exactly the right note! Music is why I write poetry (or try anyway). The rhythm of a word will begin to sing in my head. It will run up and down a scale, creating images in my mind that won’t go away until I at least jot them down and some never go away until I put them all together in a full blown poem….but it is the musicality (is there such a word?) of the words that drive me to it. Music is my first love and for years I managed bands and was and still am in awe of those that can actually create music. |

This is for that contest… isn’t it? Well, if YOU are entering it.. I’m not because you ALWAYS win. 🙂 (Could be because you’re AWESOME…but that’s besides the point. LOL) I was in choir for four years in HS, and I sing daily. I’d never go on American Idol, but I do enjoy it. That’s why many of the photos of my mother in the “Letter” series were of her singing because we’d go out and sing karaoke together. 🙂 |

I feel the rhyhm and the music in your poem! Next to music, poetry is the most sublime of the Arts, precisely because they are so similar. Can we possibly explain the wonder and peace that is felt when all of the pieces of the work hang together in such a harmonic whole? Maybe it resonates with how we are constructed and function as humans. Who knows? Nice write! Jim |

Music; the universal language. If countries would just play music instead of having wars…. |
