Wednesday morning music 1

 

The music feeds from

His iPhone, up to his ears

And out of his mouth

Wednesday morning music 2

 

Music from a car

Reminds me of the sound track

Of a French movie

 

 

*

 

Musician / Audience

 

He strolls as he sings

A sweet Chinese melody

To his fluffy dog

 

*

 

For Glenn Spearman, d. 10/8/98

 

Spirit of Music

Sound going every which way

Hear it in your heart

 

*

 

For New Orleans

 

As the waters fall

Let us mourn what was and praise

The music to come

Her column, “High Street Neighborhood News,” appeared monthly in The MacArthur Metro.  Her poems have appeared in various magazines and textbooks.
