Forest Orchestra

Posted on by areadingwriter

the sweet tweets of the birds,
the crisp cracks of dried twigs,
the whispered whistles of the wind,
the sounds of the forest orchestra.
oh, surreal and soothing
flora and fauna.

yet they can’t calm me like
how your heartbeats’
thump,
thump,
thump
can.

In response to Sound Off! dVerse Quadrille #33 by Victoria C. Slotto.
I have a sound (adjective) reason for sharing this with you today and ask you now to use the word SOUND in a poem, following the very fun Quadrille form, a poem that soundly (adverb) embraces exactly 44 words, excluding the title. Check out the dictionary. I found a plethora of ways to sound-off. Maybe you will even want to play with assonance, consonance or one of the many ways that sound adds beauty, texture or feeling to a poem.

      1. A pleasure Rosema. I am savouring the book slowly. Enjoying what I have read so far. I plan to do a feature in a few weeks in my Hangout Thursdays and will mention the book, if that is okay with you.

  13. You had me with the title! And then the shift to the loved one’s heart beat, like when you lie your head upon their chest and seek comfort not only in the body warmth but the sound.
