Rhapsody in G Minor

Air on

the G string,

tintinnabulation

in bluebell woods,

dragonfly songs -

fire and ice,

rhapsodies to live for.

rhapsody, tintinnabulation (that is such a lovely word!), fire and ice — all create a feeling of the delight of the scene. Rhiannon

Thanks Rhiannon. I like tintinnabulation too. It's a melody all of its own.

Very musical marandina and in only seventeen words, well done, but I hear it sounding in Gmajor!

Cheers, Makis. G Major, G Minor. It's all Greek to me

I'm not musical, the words do the work, do the singing.

Cheers mate. Words singing. Sometimes, they do.

  I'm a great fan of the succinct. This is that in spades. Well done.

  Not a word wasted, similar to some of the imagist poems of the 20th Century, this is most deservedly our pick of the day. Well done.

Oh thanks very much, Ewan. There's a subset of poets on SM that weave wonderful imagist work as well as the talented folks on this site. It's easy to be inspired.

'Dragonfly songs...' what an amazing concept. Visually and aurally stunning.

These words are so full to the brim with life. A bluebell wood in spring is full of music, even the colours make a sound. Rhapsodies to live for, yes they really are in nature.

Thanks for reading, Jane. We all love bluebell woods, don't we?
