a meandering melody
hijacked my bliss track
and, as I drifted in the void,
my spine straightened,
my breath slowed,
and I tumbled -- for a time --
through eternity.

PROMPT: Energy
What things give you energy?
Breath and food. But I also find movement, music, and being in a natural setting feel energizing,

Singer’s Limerick
There once was a primadonna singer
Who on a note could forever linger.
Thinking her a showboat
For dragging out one note,
The band took five mid-melisma to share chicken fingers.

Music Limerick
There once was a player of the banjo
Who took out his act as a roadshow.
A tour by demand,
(The demand of his band.)
Crowds felt the same and suggested he bongo.

Trail Tune [Senryū]
opera singers
sing a duet on the trail:
acoustics quest?

PROMPT: Nostalgic
What makes you feel nostalgic?
In order of frequency: 1.) music; 2.) some random memory; 3.) a pattern of colors.

Night Drums [Common Meter]
The pounding sound of rhythmic drums shatters stillness this eve. I know not whether snares are banged to celebrate or grieve. The pace isn't slow enough to guide a somber procession, nor does it race at the pace of jocular expression. It's a well-kept beat, approaching, that makes the windows shake, but seems suitable only for keeping me awake.

Percussive Parade [Haiku]
drums & cymbal crash: a parade of percussion outside my window.

PROMPT: Album
What’s your all-time favorite album?
I couldn’t even begin. I have favorite albums of some particular acts (e.g. “Let it Bleed” Rolling Stones; “Born to Run” Springsteen; “Rumours” Fleetwood Mac; “Sgt. Pepper’s…” The Beatles; “Toys in the Attic” Aerosmith; etc.) but not overall.
I think MIPSO’s “Dark Holler Pop” is pretty much a perfect album, and I’m quite fond of Ben Sollee’s “Learning to Bend.”
But I have no favorite album.

PROMPT: Music
