Have you ever written an acrostic poem? Whether you have or not, you may enjoy Karen O'Leary's poem! (You may remember that Karen was the editor-in-chief of Whispers, a community for poets all over the world.)
The song is… (acrostic)
Tympany of sounds
Heralding words
Evolves a harmony
Softly spilled in verse
On the flutter of wings
New life in song
Giving artists a forum
In a tranquil haven
Sharing the song
(Dedicated to Marianne Szlyk)

I don't know if I've posted much by guitarist Emily Remler. Here is her "Catwalk": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjjkywlSMXU
Next is her earlier "East to Wes" with Hank Jones and Buster Williams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7ws-7GdU0Y&list=PLIvQtZmuyaE2o_YklvRk_vkaVuWB4DBvf
I'll finish with her "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btc3sEHINBM
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteDear Paul,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I didn't think my first comment went through as when I checked back after two days it didn't come up. Oh well, Marianne deserves the kudos. I appreciate you stopping by in support of her.
