A SIMPLE QUESTION
Is there a ticket into the reserved seats,
The roped off balcony in your head above
The quirky movements of the orchestra?
What can be read in the sheet music
Of your half-smile with its curling clefs;
An ancient oboe brooding in shadows
Or an internal organ piping its blues
Into your blood's oceanic motion?
Doesn't a subliminal sonata
ripple through this moment's facial flicker,
Coding your face's random freckles
Like a bowl of bruised bananas
Sporting spotted notes below attached stems:
Secret notation of the unsung soul?
(Alan's question): Is this a sonnet?
ReplyDeleteunrhymed and not in pentameter, but yes, basically. It does utilize an 8/6 thematic structure
ReplyDeleteI love how you don't say what you say. I do that too and not a lot of people get it. You've got a fan in me.
